"Where they differ most is in their biographies. Kerry is the political veteran, the man with a record in public office stretching back three decades. He is also the most patrician of the trio -- the son of a diplomat, a product of Yale and the husband of an heiress. Democrats often have nominated and elected such wealthy friends of the working class (think FDR and JFK), so there is plenty of tradition for Kerry to evoke -- and plenty of reverse snobbery for his opponents to exploit.
Edwards and Clark are much more self-made men, climbing out of modest family backgrounds thanks to education at public universities (West Point for Clark, North Carolina State for Edwards) and distinguishing themselves from thousands of others in their chosen fields of the military and the law by their braininess and their work ethic."
