Politicians < Personal Injury Lawyer.
Therefore, Edwards would be a step up. What's wrong with behaving differently in front of different audiences? I don't speak to my friends the same way I speak to my parents, or my boss, or y'all. As long as the content of the message is the same, who cares about vernacular? Cardinal rule of public speaking: Know Thy Audience.

But seriously, if you don't want to get sued by a personal injury attorney: don't injure anybody. Either through your negligent business practices or otherwise. Here in Texas we have Tort Reform, yay! Now big business has virtually no incentive to care about whether we are injured or killed by their attempts to maximize profits.

This should make you wonder where the anti-lawyer rhetoric really comes from.

I guess I don't appreciate public figures that have to talk differently to different audiences. Just talk as you normally do and be yourself.
For the record, I did live in North Carolina for 5 years and was one of his constituents, so I do have a right to complain about the fakeness of his folksy aires. If he is a folksy person normally, then he should act like that all the time. I've seen him pull the old switcharoo - folksy one minute, and not so much the next. I talk to everyone in the same manner, so I guess it does bother me. I don't change things up for different audiences. The message, mode and delivery is always the same. Being a lawyer myself, I don't like those who practice in the field of personal injury. I feel that they: 1) Exploit people's stupidity - always making a mountain out of a mole hill - of course coffee is hot! 2) Clog the court system with ridiculous law suits 3) Really stress the need for tort reform. So those are my thoughts. Now if he ran today, he'd probably win, but not with my vote.

if you want to see a knock down drag out put clinton/obama vs mccain/guiliani vs lieberman/colin powell. it won't happen, but it would be fun to watch.
