Oops!
To cap off his four-year campaign to win Iowa's Democratic caucus Thursday night, John Edwards planned a 36-hour marathon bus tour through 15 of the crucial state's 99 counties with a whole series of policy announcements to garner publicity and caucus votes.
But 12 hours into the political odyssey -- billed as Edwards' "Marathon for the Middle Class" -- his Main Street Express bus began making very disturbing noises in western Iowa. In darkness, the bus with the entire Edwards entourage pulled over at a service station and was abandoned.
Oh, the awful symbolism for a political campaign struggling to overcome a new Des Moines Register poll showing him behind Hillary Clinton and way behind -- like eight points -- this senatorial upstart Barack Obama in what everyone admits is a make-or-break contest for Edwards presidential hopes in the Hawkeye state, where he finished second to John Kerry in 2004.

I wonder if his hair got mussed in all the fuss over the broken bus. ( kind of a ryhme going there)
Should read simply:”the entire Edwards entourage pulled over at a service station and was abandoned.” Forget about the “bus” part!
“All animals are equal; some are more equal than others.”
Sometimes self absorbed boobs keep people waiting to demonstrate control ,thereby inflicting upon the victims , an impression of the boobs superiority .
John Edwards also began what his campaign is calling a 36-hour “Marathon for the Middle Class.” ... abandoned in the first hours of the Marathon...by broken down bus.
Why didn't Edwards take control of the situation, and order his wife to fix the bus?
The bio-diesel gelled up in the cold.......
Hillary Clinton denies knowledge that sugar in the gas tank
caused the Edwards' bus to breakdown. Meanwhile, her
latest campaign director steps down to spend more time
with her family.
How anyone can buy Edwards’ BS about being for the middle class is beyond me. For that matter, how can they buy any of his BS at all?
I see two busses.......
Any bus mechanic freepers in Iowa? We need the Silk Pony to win Iowa. :)
I hope it was caused by Ethanol.
He says he won't take money from corporations, but he does take money from trial lawyers (his largest contributors). Isn't that like saying "I won't take money from banks but I will from bank robbers"?
“Marathon for the Middle Class”
HAHAHAHAHA... I am reminded of the old saying, never trust a many in a $10,000 suit telling poor people what they want to hear.
Edwards is a schill he made his fortune with fraudulent asbestos litigation and the like and took 60-70% of the judgements....
I’d wouldn’t trust this jackass to walk my dog.
Edwards is the closest thing to Karl Marx that we have running in this election.
