ABC News' Raelyn Johnson reports: Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic hopeful John Edwards, lamented with Iowa caucus goers about her fear of the Republican Party.
"Republicans should scare us in a lot of ways," Edwards said as she was introducing her husband at a town hall in Dubuque, Iowa.
Speaking about Republican candidate Mike Huckabee, who recently surged ahead in Iowa polls, Elizabeth noted, "He seems like a nice charming guy," before saying that Huckabee, "doesn’t believe in evolution and has some nutty views about what it is we should do about ending violence in our inner city — we should make sure all of our young people are armed. Republicans scare me."
She went on to warn about the larger party, saying, "Karl Rove may not be working in the White House anymore but you can pretty much be sure he’s going back in the presidential race... I believe he’s going to be back and he’s going be doing that same kind of Rovian politics that we’ve seen before — the kind of attacks that we saw against Sen. McCain in South Carolina we can expect to see against our nominee, 'swift boating,' all of that kind of stuff again."
John Edwards has been spending the last week campaigning in Iowa. Elizabeth joined him recently and has been making her presence felt by speaking at various moments throughout town hall meetings. Actor and supporter Kevin Bacon joined Edwards on Saturday, surprising audiences with a performance from the Bacon Brothers Band, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that this bus tour is being headlined by Elizabeth.
Pleading her husband’s case, she told caucus goers that Edwards could survive the Republican attack machine: "We have to have a candidate who stands up, can take the punches and give it back to them."
Ambulance chasers scare me.
Bill Shaheen must be working for Edwards now...
The feeling is mutual Elizabeth. You scare us all.
Boo!
“Republicans should scare us in a lot of ways,”
Boo!
Telling the truth? Why shoud she fear the truth?
Republicans should scare Democrats - keep them in line ...
It may be interesting to see how he fares in NC if he survives to that primary. I think NC could go for HRC and ED to show it is open to “wimin” (as they pronounce it there) in high office!
she’s Howard Dean...on quaaludes and in drag.
Of course Republicans scare her. We put down the Soviet Union, and she’s Redder than they were, but a lot less bright.
She forgot to mention that Rove would probably be doing that ‘causing global warming and stuff like that’.
Oh, and I almost forgot the favorite—Republicans would bring back slavery too.
Is this woman a ditz or what?
Beat me! I like how you think, though. :^)

Any Republican who talked like this about Democrats would instantly get the Ann Coulter treatment and be termed a hatemonger, etc. Total double standard.
Socialists, Communists, Progressives and Democrats are out to destroy America....
They will lie, cheat and steal in order to meet their goals.
Our schools and courts have been infected and now they say we scare them????????
Humbug.
It’s the BIG LIE that has been repeated over and over these last 50 years....and so many useful idiots have bought into this that the rest of us are now in the minority.
But I will resist until my death bed.
