Nope...this email is 100% real. I also received this from the GOP.
A little late, aren't ya (post 32, 36). . .try to keep up, Sparky.

"This man ran away from Congress and hid at home on the morning of 9/11/2001. The capital building posed too great of a target for Edwards to stay there."
Well, granting that Edwards is a Wienerius Maximus, a person would be a fool to stay in the Capitol building under those circumstances.
Standing your ground against a plummeting airliner is not courage, it's Darwin Award conduct.
Late? Usually. But, always a dollar short ;^D
Firemen went INTO the WTC on the morning of 9-11-2001.
It is called a job and a responsibility. John Edwards lacks the character to lead this nation.
**** HIT THESE POLLS AFTER THE DEBATE... AND FIND MORE POLLS! ****

I agree with all that, except that standing in the path of probably death for no reason is not equivalent to what the firemen did. What the firemen did had a purpose and took courage. Staying in the Capitol building that morning would have been futile and dumb.
It seems that the rest of Congress remained there. Kerry discusses his time with the other Senators as they watched the news and were later taken to a secure location.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't nuclear attack plans involve getting the legislators out of Dodge and to a safe(r) place ASAP? Continuity of government, and all that?
Seems to me the same principle would apply when the weapons are airliners.
"and were later taken to a secure location."
That sounds to me like somebody fell down on the job. I would like to imagine myself reasoning in an instant from the facts at hand to the conclusion that the Capitol building should be evacuated immediately. I'd hate to think that I would be as overcome by events as Kerry confesses he was.

It wasn't until the plane hit the Pentagon that some people realized DC was also a target. Pilots thought that plane was still in the air when they were communicating with air traffic controllers.
This is part of what the 9/11 hearings were over.

I'm not sure what your point is there.
