The ultra ambitious Edwards cared more about his prospects in the future than about helping Kerry win (you could argue that he was also ultra dumb since being veep might have helped him gain what he wanted so much in the future). He didnt play the attack dog role that veeps need to, and there was also a lack of chemistry between him and Kerry, which Kerry hinted at after the election (Edwards supposedly refused to return phone calls after the election).
While there were a vocal few who considered themselves on the left and also pro-Edwards (I will call them high-gullibility voters since they often denounced everybody else as low-information voters), most voters did not buy his schtick transforming overnight from DLC posterchild to two-americas left populism. So, he was slimy in that sense, though his personal life wasn't publicly known in 2008.
