It's just a consequence of how image-based American politics are. Edwards is set up to be the young and dynamic counterweight to Kerry's more studious approach - allowing that to slip would have a big impact at the polls. I can't imagine Bush or any other public figure not getting the same treatment by their aides before they address the country.
