I think this is a version of conservatives trying to pump up Gore and downplay Edwards, who they no doubt see as a much greater threat. From a purely pragmatic viewpoint, Edwards looks pretty good. Liberal enough to have voted against Bush tax plan and get pretty high ratings from most liberal groups, populist enough to get elected in North Carolina, and rich enough never to have to worry about campaign fundraising if the pinch comes.
And in the wake of Enron/Anderson trials, being a trial lawyer will probably not be a liability; it may even be an asset.
