...the now-disgraced but then-super-promising presidential candidate.
"Super promising"? Wasn't this the same guy that couldn't win a reelection for his senate seat nor could carry his own home state as a VP candidate? "Super promising" to what?
"Investigators were shocked at the allegation because Edwards was then considered the All-American persona."
When did ambulance chasers become "the All-American persona"? What the heck was the author sniffing when he wrote this?
Oy vey....

C.S. Lewis
A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.
John C Calhoun, "Disquisition on Government", 1840
