ABC News blog: Staffers planned to sabotage Edwards' campaign

Quote:
But by late December, early January of last year, several people in his inner circle began to think the rumors were true.

Several of them had gotten together and devised a "doomsday" strategy of sorts.

Basically, if it looked like Edwards was going to win the Democratic Party nomination, they were going to sabotage his campaign, several former Edwards' staffers have told me.

They said they were Democrats first, and if it looked like Edwards as going to become the nominee, they were going to bring down the campaign.
They're like - now that we're on the campaign, and we get to know the guy, turns out he's an asshole.

OK, but as long as we're making major campaign money, it's all good. We stay in, and hold the election pat with O in the lead and us swiping votes from Hillary; and if Johnny gets 35% somehow, we pull a leg out from under the table and let it come crashing down.


He shouldn't have been President, should never have been considered for it, and this proves it beyond the shadow of a doubt. Think about it: he couldn't even convince his own campaign team that he was the right guy for the job.

Good for them. They are right, he shouldn't have been running a campaign while having an affiar. Not in THIS country. That was majorly stupid on his part.
