CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - John Edwards came downstairs and found 5-year-old son Jack on the floor, arranging toy trucks in a column.
"What are you doing?" the former North Carolina senator asked.
"Making a motorcade," came the exuberant reply.
A year after Democrats John Kerry and Edwards lost the White House election, young Jack still may think about the heady days of last fall. His father, however, has moved on - without a Secret Service escort.
-He is traveling the country, trying to rally college students to the cause of fighting poverty in the U.S.
-He is presiding over a new poverty center at the University of North Carolina.
-He is laying the groundwork for a possible return to the political spotlight as a presidential candidate in 2008.
A little bit of all three was on his mind when he made a stop at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government.
"I'm in a very forward-looking, positive state of mind," said Edwards, while hundreds of students began to assemble in a nearby common. "I mean, being able to take on a big cause in a really serious way is an extraordinary thing."
A year ago Tuesday, Edwards and Kerry, the Massachusetts senator, were in Boston, awaiting the general election results. There was uncertainty about the outcome, especially in Ohio. At 2 a.m., Kerry sent his running mate to address the waning crowd in Copley Square.
"John Kerry and I made a promise to the American people that in this election, every vote would count and ever vote would be counted," Edwards said. "Tonight, we are keeping our word and we will fight for every vote."

Here's a prediction: Edwards will not be President in 2009.
When will he become Fosterized?

If this reporter were capable of telling the truth, he'd have told us the child replied "Making a funeral procession."
A future Harold Stassen in the offing....
LOL Like Gore?

Somehow I don't worry about the scenario where he wins, unlike Hillary, Kerry, even Dean.
