Why Were Dems Silent About Edwards Scandal?

A distinguished roster of Republicans and conservatives were willing to speak out in real time against Palin's nomination to vice president. Yet according to revelations from the newly released Game Change, none of the many Democrats who knew or suspected the truth about John Edwards were willing to do the same.

Here's a question raised by the Heilemann and Halperin revelations about the moral squalor of the John Edwards campaign:

A distinguished roster of Republicans and conservatives were willing to speak out in real time against the Palin nomination to vice president.

Yet none of the many Democrats who knew or suspected the truth about John Edwards were willing to do the same. Worse: knowing the truth, they were willing to work to squelch it.

Not a nice story.
