We now know what former U.S. Senator John Edwards will be doing for UNC-Chapel Hill.

Looks like Edwards will be working to strengthen the Democratic Party’s presence in New Jersey and other state legislatures. Shock of all shocks.

A quote from UNC’s poverty expert:

“Far too often, people think that the solutions to the problems we face as a country must come from Washington, but much of the important work on the issues Americans face every day is done in the states,” Edwards said. “State legislators can do a great deal to fight poverty, expand educational opportunities, and make health care more affordable.”

To think we were told this was going to be a non-partisan position with UNC-Chapel Hill. Excuse me while I pick myself up from laughing.
