According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Edwards will rake in $65,000 for the chat. But the paper reports Edwards' agent told a University official Edwards wants to book more engagements and charge more than the pre-Beverly Hilton rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2006, Edwards was paid a measly $55,000 to speak at UC Davis ... on poverty."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
