What a pantload!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Was Edwards included in Iowa Governor Vilsack's top three list the other day ?

[Constitution Day]

Indexing to Edwards Watch...

Who's John Edwards?

[Constitution Day]

I don't know what you mean, sorry. (I'm from NC)

[Constitution Day]

LOL. I wish he was STILL an unknown.

[ken5050]

Can you give us an update on the local rumors at to whether or not he refiles for Senator...I understand that NC allows him to run for both..but seeing as he's already pretty unpopular back home..if he refiled for the Senate without giving up the WH, that'd pretty much be the kiss of death....

"He has not spent 30 seconds since he was elected to the White House thinking about people like my dad..."

1. How do you, Sen. Edwards, know what the President has been thinking about?

2. He was elected to the office of Preisdent, not the White House. The White House is his residence, stupid!

3. And you, Senator Edwards, have not spent 30 seconds thinking period!

Now I feel better!!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The governor of Iowa was discussing the first in the nation Iowa caucuces. He said Gephart, Kerry and one other candidate were the front runners. I don't remember hearing Edwards' name in the guv's list.

I have no idea. How about you, Howlin?

[Constitution Day]

I don't remember hearing Edwards' name in the guv's list.

Not surprising. I think his poll #s are in the single digits.

[Capt. Jake]

Hey Edwards-You are a multi-millionaire. Take care of your dad yourself. Don't rely on government, i.e. the rest of us, to do what you should do.

[Howlin]

He warned that "a woman's right to choose is in jeopardy every single day the president is in the White House," and reaffirmed his support for legislation to prevent discrimination against gays and lesbians, and extend benefits to same sex domestic partners.

Write that down; it will be very useful when Mr. Edwards slinks back to NC begging us to let him keep his job.

[Howlin]

3. And you, Senator Edwards, have not spent 30 seconds thinking period!

One place HE hasn't spent 30 seconds in the last year is North Carolina.

[lwd]

"We cannot treat the rest of America as a place we fly over between New York to California," he said.

New York and California? What ever happened to North Carolina? This guy is pathetic.

[Howlin]

I believe he has until January to decide to file for the Senate; that being said, I did hear something about a date in November being a date to watch because it was the last date for file for some primary. I can't remember right now what the entire report says. Maybe I can find it.

[Howlin]

I did hear on Jerry Agar that his "friends" think he will run for one or the other, but not both; for whatever THAT is worth.

[Constitution Day]

Thanks! I haven't been able to listen to Agar lately and I knew you would know something.

[Mamzelle]

Still think this may be the guy we have to beat--he engenders in me the same kind of ick-factor that Clinton did...that, "Nobody could take this goon seriously" that I had to eat, later.

I feel the same way.
Lots of people see him as an empty suit, but I think he is very smart, very determined and very dangerous.

We underestimate him at this nation's peril.
