With the news of Edwards' affair there are some that think we should not care or focus on this because it's something personal, to be decided between those directly involved.
But that's a red herring.
As politically active Democrats our concern should not be about the morality of Edwards' actions. We can leave that for others.
Our real concern is that Edwards, in an act of supreme political selfishness, ran for the party's nomination knowing this had happened.
He needs to explain why, why did he ask for our votes, our money, and our time knowing full well that if he had won he would have destroyed the Party's chances of winning this year. This is no small thing.
