Edwards' enforcer


Recently, presidential candidate John Edwards was in Macon to meet with supporters and raise funds for his campaign. During his visit, Edwards made time to talk with Telegraph staffer Amy Leigh Womack. The interview was largely cordial, Amy said, but, like many candidates, Edwards was determined to spin things to his advantage. So determined, in fact, that he was willing to bring in a member of his staff to, as he said, ensure accuracy; but there was a subtle yet unmistakable intimidation at work, as this photo shows.

It is for the voters to decide whether such a man is fit for the White House.
