John Edwards can't wait for his PS3

I don't see the big deal here. He didn't offer to do anything for them in return. We all take advantage of things where we can. Through my company I can go to nearly any sporting event for free and I certainly enjoy that. If I knew someone at Walmart I would have tried to get two or three to sell. :D

He's a public figure. The idea that he believes he deserves special treatment doesn't say much for his character.

Power attracts the worng personality types...

A better way to spin it would have been to blame the volunteer for using Edwards' name to try and get one for themselves...make the volunteer look like a scoundrel. That's how Washington works.
