Former Sen. John Edwards came within a few electoral votes of being vice president of the United States.

I generally don’t care for lawyers (especially ambulence chasers), but there are some times when those kinds of lawsuits are legit. My sister is still sufferring from the aftereffects of an automobile/motorcycle accident in which a drunken motorcyclist ran a stopsign and T-boned the car my sister was in, so I can see both sides of this issue.
