Excerpt:
"The Des Moines Register dinged Mr. Edwards last month with the headline “Edwards Is Late, Students Wait.” The article noted that he had not only been late for that high school gathering but also kept supporters waiting for 45 minutes in a “cold, damp wind” at an event a week earlier, tardiness that was explained by a campaign aide who said the candidate had been spending time with his parents, who were traveling with him.

Mr. Edwards has been ribbed about his habit in public, sometimes by people whose endorsement he is studiously courting. On the Sunday after Thanksgiving, he was scheduled to appear in New Hampshire alongside a Democratic congresswoman from the state, Carol Shea-Porter. He kept Ms. Shea-Porter, and a patient crowd, waiting for more than 40 minutes."
