John Roberts: the bizarro John Edwards?

It would do the dems no good to come roaring out of the gate on this guy. That might work well against an outright loony, but this guy - good lord, has anyone else noticed the superficial similarities to John Edwards?

John Roberts - John Edwards!
High school football star - High school football star!
Worked in a steel mill - Worked in a cotton mill!
White boy good looks - White boy good looks!
Two adorable (distracting) little kids - Two adorable (distracting) little kids!

Weird. Anyway, if they hope to undermine this nom it's going to have to be a careful and thorough research job. And I'm quite sure Kennedy and Schumer are all over that.

[UPDATE]: The Washington Post's Robin Givhan noticed too.

(Who among us did a double take? Two cute blond children with a boyish-looking father getting ready to take the lectern -- Jack Edwards? Emma Claire? Is that you? Are all little boys now named Jack?)
