Democrat John Edwards has eloquently established his credentials as an advocate for the poor with a presidential campaign focused on the devastating effects of poverty in America. But the former North Carolina senators populist drive has hit some land mines: a pair of $400 haircuts, a $500,000 paycheck from a hedge fund, and now a $55,000 payday for a speech on poverty to students at the University of California-Davis.
The problem now facing the presidential candidate is whether the pileup of headlines, including the latest regarding hefty fees from university speeches reported Monday by the San Francisco Chronicle, threatens to obliterate Edwards dominant campaign theme. The former senator, who has been portrayed as the champion of the poor and the son of a humble mill worker, now faces the possibility that voters will have a different image: that of a millionaire trial lawyer who talks one way and lives another.
With months to go before the first primaries and caucuses, the growing perception about Edwards highlights a danger of modern presidential campaigns: In the 24/7 media environment, a few maelstroms of unconnected and unexpected headlines and images can quickly gather momentum and morph into a political storm that obliterates even a carefully crafted strategy and message.

I found myself surrounded by incoming MBA students interested in pursuing more traditional career paths. I wanted an MBA to work with non-profit organizations that addressed community development and poverty issues in urban environments. I soon noticed that there were not too many other like minded individuals. I began to wonder if choosing Michigan had really been the right decision for me.
