Edwards' wife talks of Clinton 'hatred'
By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer 4 minutes ago
Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, says "hatred" of his rival Hillary Rodham Clinton would motivate Republicans to vote against her in the general election.
"I want to be perfectly clear: I do not think the hatred against Hillary Clinton is justified," Elizabeth Edwards said in an interview with Time magazine out this week. "I don't know where it comes from. I don't begin to understand it. But you can't pretend it doesn't exist, and it will energize the Republican base. Their nominee won't energize them, Bush won't, but Hillary as the nominee will. It's hard for John to talk about, but it's the reality."
Responding to Mrs. Edwards, Clinton spokesman Phil Singer said polls show that Clinton will be a strong opponent against the Republicans seeking the presidency.
"Senator Clinton leads all the leading Republicans in national and key swing state polls because Americans know she is the Democrat with the strength and experience to bring real change," Singer said.
Elizabeth Edwards has become the voice for many criticisms of her husband's leading rivals. She has suggested that Obama and his campaign plagiarized material from Edwards' 2004 presidential campaign and criticized Obama for opposing the Iraq war but voting for the funding, saying that he's been "behaving in a holier-than-thou way."
But many of her criticisms have been aimed at Clinton. She's criticized her for not having the "political will" to enact universal health care. She also said her husband has a better record on women's issues than Clinton.
Last year, Mrs. Edwards apologized to Clinton after saying her choices in life have made her happier than the New York senator.

You know the playground rules: Only girls can hit girls.
Apparently Mrs. Edwards has a worse memory than Hillary Clinton herself.
Elizabeth Edwards this...
Elizabeth Edwards that...
Holy Moley. Doesn’t her husband say or do anything in HIS campaign?
Or is it his job to sit there, look pretty, and say stupid stuff, like Americans should give up their SUV’s?
>> “I want to be perfectly clear: I do not think the hatred against Hillary Clinton is justified,” Elizabeth Edwards said
Whaddayaknow... here’s yet another point on which Elizabeth Edwards and I disagree.
Oh please let us run against Edwards...
Let me get this straight.... vote for my husband because the republicans will be so bored by the whole thing that they will stay home?
Unlike Edwards, whose campaign is so lifeless it requires "energy" from his wife. LOL.
FYI
Sympathy will mute the negative response, and the truth of the statement will stick.
Everybody knows about the Hildabeast. Rapidly getting tired of Liz Edwards as well. The ‘but she has Ca’ free pass has burnt out. Nobody gave me a ride all day wrist band when I was underneath a Linear Accelerator.
If only we can get Elizabeth to pound Hillary on her Illegal campaign contributions from criminals and foreigners from Japan.
It would be hard for media to ignore it then... Perhaps sending Hillary illegal campaign contribution information to media is the wrong approach, send the info to her rivals!
We know RATS have no problem eating their own...
General election? I'm thinking about changing parties just so I can vote against her in the primary. I don't agree with Edwards or Obama or the rest, but I don't fear for my country's continued existance under them. I do under Hillary. The chance that Hillary would be so disgusting to the American people that they would be more likely to vote Republican in 2008 just isn't worth the risk. She must be stopped at the earliest possible time.

Does Elizabeth really think nobody will notice she’s being disingenuous? She’s a viper.
