John Edwards on the July/August cover of Men's Vogue : GlobalGiants.com
Photo: Presidential candidate John Edwards is working aggressively on his populist strategy for winning the South-a message that has been undermined by news of his $400 haircuts, his recently finished mansion outside of Chapel Hill, and the money he earned on speeches and as a hedge fund consultant prior to announcing his run. Even Edwards admits he has "probably not 100%" overcome the perception of himself as a Ken doll. For the July/August cover story, Men's Vogue writer Joe Hagan observes Edwards's own race to prove to America that the heartfelt message and the perfect messenger- articulate, telegenic and passionate-are one in the same. |GlobalGiants.com|
