Edwards came home Tuesday to make the announcement. He did it in Robbins, in Moore County, where he grew up and went to school. His parents still live there.

Edwards' formal announcement was much like a grand opening for a business that has been open for nine months. He has been campaigning since the start of the year.

I think I have had a revelation about our Breck Girl, Sen. John Edwards.

His game plan/career path is:
Trial Lawyer,
Senator,
Presidential Contender,
soon to be
Law Professor

And then the next time there is a Democrat in the Whitehouse,
Supreme Court Justice.

A trial lawyer on the Supreme Court. Be very afraid.

Please notify the USSS office. Mr. Edwards has made a specific threat against our President.

Yeah, he's so strong in North Carolina he decided not to run for re-election.

He knows he can't win-the state's got him pegged for what he is; a male, ambulance chasing version of Hillary Clinton. Just passing thru, posing as your Senator, Thank You, on my way to higher office.

Right now he's between: a) unable to retain his seat, and b) Polling 2%-4% behind the 9 clowns.

Nontheless, the Raleigh N&O dedicated front page for 5-6 days to this bozo, trying to keep clown alive. Shameless. Five days of DNC propaganda - front page, big headlines. Passed off as news.

"He was always such a fine young man," said one of his old teachers.

A state trooper who once stopped Edwards for speeding and let him go also showed up for the announcement.

Gotta love it!

I will beat George Bush in North Carolina," he said.

At least that would be more that Algore could do (carry his home state). Of couse, Dukakis, Mondale and McGovern carried their homes states. The Dems better aim a little higher if they really want to win.

My studied opinion, however, is that by mid-summer '04 it'll be Al Gore just like before.

Can't say that I am sorry John, and thank goodness winning NORTH CAROLINA will not deliver the Presidency.

I hear he plays a mean game of Parchesee. Bush had better take his stinken' game board and high-tail it out of Robbins, NC.
