Following the unsuccessful bid of the '06 Democratic team, VP candidate and former North Carolina senator John Edwards decided not to return to his previous occupation as a trial attorney. Instead, he accepted a part-time faculty position with his alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He moved on to become head of the Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity, where he directed studies on ways to move people out of poverty. Edwards has again thrown his hat into the presidential ring in '08.
