“Robert Shrum, the veteran Democratic strategist who worked on John Edwards’s 1998 Senate campaign in North Carolina, does not remember his onetime client very fondly,” says an article in today’s Washington Post.
“In his new memoir, ‘No Excuses: Concessions of a Serial Campaigner,’ Shrum recalls asking Edwards at the outset of that campaign, ‘What is your position, Mr. Edwards, on gay rights?’
“‘I’m not comfortable around those people,’ Edwards replied, according to Shrum. He writes that the candidate’s wife, Elizabeth, told him: ‘John, you know that’s wrong.’”
