The
post hoc, ergo prompter hoc fallacy was at work in the Salem Witch trials, I'm sure.
"She said x, then Y happened!"
Gee, look at that! I'm a scientist! Wow, that was easy!
Edwards was on the tube after the results of Iowa were in, inveighing against "30 million people living in poverty in America."
Poor people, who only have one color TV--and a mortgage on their air conditioned house. By some measures an American secretary has a better standard of living than Queen Victoria did. Assuming of course that the electricity and plumbing in her house are working . . . Dinish D'souza's line about the why his friend in India wanted to come to America: "I want to live in a country where the poor people are fat."
Thomas Sowell's point about the "lowest quintile" of the income distribution is that it is loaded with young people with good prospects--including some whose income is "low" only in the sense that they graduated college in June and so only have six month's salary to declare at the end of the year. And immigrants, often illegal, are a significant fraction of the rest of that "quintile" (and even the word "quintile" is misleading because Edwards types cook the books by including only 15% of the public in it, to make the "quintile" have a low aggregate income--and by including 25% of the public in the top "quintile to exaggerate the aggregate income of "the rich").

Edwards better keep practicing that "closing statement".
He's going to need it.
It won't be a jury of 12, it will be a "jury" of all the voters.

'I have to tell you right now -- I didn't plan to talk about this -- right now I feel her (Jennifer), I feel her presence,' Edwards told the jury according to court records. "[Jennifer's] inside me and she's talking to you ... Uh...is this John Edwards, or John Edward?
To: kattracks
I live in SC and until this campaign began, I never even heard Edwards name!!! Not sure if that is good or bad...obviously he doesn't do much for the neighboring state but he isn't getting caught with hookers either.
To: Dog
I think you're right. Edwards looked weak early on, so the Clintons (loyal as usual) dumped him in favor of Clark. They now have all their eggs in the Clark basket with so many Clintonistas on the Clark payroll and rumors of both Clintons are backing him.
Although I believe that early on they were backing Edwards, it is now too late to dump the nutcase Clark and go back to Edwards.

As a democrat, Edwards would have to support the global warming hypothesis, which is junk science exemplified.
Global warming is creationism for liberals.

Let's hope they will...never underestimate they power that "emotion" has with this electorate.....remember Gore's "spontaneous" kiss with Tipper & what that did to his poll numbers? Yech! Don't think for a minute that this guy Edwards wouldn't be able to work the emotional frenzy angle......he's an expert at it....

Isnt it him who gave his "2 cents" about lawsuits in Time magazine.
The dude is actualy advocating sovietised courts of experts to decide on the matters, and to do away with juries who award too great settlements.
ME think the guy is into selective political prosecution overdrive.

He is pretty and looks like JFK. That is all that all it takes to win the ladies votes.

Trial lawyers have made everything more expensive, more complicated, more difficult, more confusing, and less usable. But, as floor linings for puppy training, they are quite good.
