the two Americas............

[nmh]

I suppose he'll be donating some of that to those he claims to represent - the down trodden and the impoverished, RIGHT?

[sono]

Apparently Edwards is "movin on up" in an attempt to appear Jeffersonian - as in George, not Thomas.

[beltfed308]

Why isn't he one of those rich people I keep hearing about?

[Palladin]

And he's planning to campaign for President on poverty issues?

What a jerk!

[Sunshine Sister]

Why is he talking about 2 Americas when he only participates in one of the two? Just a tad hypocritical huh?

[Ditter]

$5.2 million for that house doesn't sound out of line.

[KarlInOhio]

Former Sen. John Edwards, who on Thursday announced he was running a second time for president, has sold his Georgetown house for $5.2 million.

The Washington house had been on the market for since spring 2005. As of last week, the advertised price for the six-bedroom property was $5.6 million.

$400,000 below the recent asking price. The housing bubble is collapsing! The housing bubble is collapsing! Head for the hills. Buy guns, gold and groceries.

So, in which America was his $5.2 million dollar home located? ;)

[socialismisinsidious]

I guess suing doctors on behalf of the 'down trodden' really pays off. Where do trial lawyers fit under Edward's Universal Health Care plan?

Silly me, I forgot that according to Edwards medical lawsuits have nothing to do with the "rocketing cost of medical care".

[mystery-ak]

....and his *theme* for election is *poverty*.....lmao

[NormsRevenge]

Two Americas? I like it. There's a theme in there. somewhere.

Impossible.

Everyone knows only lilly white Republicans are rich - the democrats told me so.

I'm sure the figure was supposed to be $52,000. Must have been a typo.

[WhiteGuy]

why does anyone care?

A real estate transaction is interesting because.............

[Dolphy]

There is little that outrages me more than the kind of class warfare Edwards wages. IF he cared so damn much about the "other" America he might have chosen to charge less for his legal services or made more charitable contributions instead of living lavishly.

[hnj_00]

hope he has to pay capital gains.....

2 americas....he campaigns for the poor and lib/dems buy this crap!!!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

TWO AMERICAS, I TELL YA!

[Mo1]

Did he buy another home in DC after selling this one ????

5.2 Million? For a house? In this market?

That sounds like a campaign contribution to me. Or maybe a payback for some favor. The fact that the new buyer is not disclosed is suspicious.
