Now, ponder this quote from Edwards's wife, in the "60 Minutes" interview with Messrs. and Mmes. Kedwards:

"I just want to say one thing and this is that these two men voted against tax cuts that would have benefited them," adds Elizabeth Edwards.

"Isn't that what we want? A leader who looks at the greater good instead of what simply what benefits the people [like] himself, or the people in his own class for their donors or whatever else you're looking at? These men did what was right for all Americans and it seems to me that's an enormous test of character--whether you're willing to step out and do something against your own self interest."

"People in his own class"? Has anyone in the "real America" ever used language like that?
