Setting up the center for those overtly-political purposes is pretty shifty. What's surprising, to me, is that he'd bother to shut them down. I wonder if, by shutting them down, he effectively was throwing in the towel for future Presidential runs (which are probably now moot because of the adultery scandal anyways).
A guy as rich as Edwards could easily put the center and the scholarship fund back on track, and he shouldn't generally have a tough time raising money for their endowments.
Anyway yeah, what a tool.

Well, since you bring it up....
Heh, seriously, though, if you want to have fun with both McCain & Obama, go look up the series of stories NPR's Marketplace did on their PACs a few weeks ago. After listening to a few of the articles, I began to wonder why we bothered with campaign finance legislation in the first place.
