Don't underestimate Edwards.

Nor Kerry either. Both are more restrained than crazy Algore... and he almost won!

We won by The Electoral College and the SCOTUS.

Let us now welcome Edwards' candidacy by offering up this campaign song for him written by Freeper azhenfud:

Hello ambulance, my old friend, I've come to chase you once again,
Because a money vision creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain,
Still remains, within the sound of sirens.

In restless dreams I ran alone, through the streets on my cellphone,
'neath the halos of the street lamps, I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a rescue light
That split the night, and heard the sound of sirens.

And in the naked light I saw, Ten injured people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening,
Suing others, without any care.
Since Johnny's there, Amidst the sound of sirens.

"Fools" said I, "You do not know, how sirens set my heart a glow.
I use the courts that I might teach you, I use lawsuits that I might reach you."
But my words like heavy raindrops fell,
And echoed, Like the wail of sirens.

And those alike bowed and prayed, To the flashing gods they made.
And the strobe flashed out its warning, In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, "The words of the juries are written on the ER walls
And patient halls." and whisper'd in the sound of sirens.

...in the sound of sirens....

Edwards gives me flashbacks. I swear to God he has Glen Campbell's 1969 hair.

That is so he can campaign against John F. Kerry's 1960 John F. Kennedy hair helmet.

When does Al Sharpton announce his candidacy and will it be on the Today Show? I sure want to see the uncomfortable looks from Matt and Katie when Big Al makes his announcement.

Too bad we would not be able to "Stern" such an announcement.

Imagine if it were Sen. Edwards first to the accident scene in Broward County. He would've had his business card in each of the victim's hands, live or dead, and would be interviewing State Troopers and witnesses to prioritize the list of his own victims for lawsuits, including the car manufacturer, the state highway authority, drivers of other proximate vehicles, and the paramedics for their actions in trying to rescue survivors.

I'd advise 'Rat scumbags to take a goooood look at the kind of trash holding their banner - and compare them to a man like Frist.

Nope, it's this guy:

I hear he can talk to the dead, which helps him immensely with constituent services.

Don't kid yourself....Edwards will be a formidable opponent!!!

Women "go for his boyish looks and big hair and the vast majority of voting females don't care that he is an intellectual moron.

I love how Edwards is pictured outside his million dollar house in Raleigh, not to be confused with his new 3 million dollar house in the DC area, or his million dollar house on exclusive (no Blacks allowed) Figure 8 Island....but he says he wants to be "a champion for regular people."
Uh huh.........................................

When asked about the high cost of health care/drugs, he said this morning on a local radio interview that he had been talking to doctors about that and was just not sure why the costs were so high....maybe it was the drug companies who invested in the stock market and when they had loses they passed it on to the little people.......Yeah RIGHT Johnny....maybe it is because of trial lawyers like you who drive up cost with exorbitant lawsuits......ya think??? And who, might we ask, are your largest financial supporters??? Trial lawyers from across the fruited plains are shoveling money at you! Wonder why?

I am telling you this guy is dangerous.....very dangerous!!!!! I can not stress it enough!!! He is a total light weight but the press will be creaming in their jeans over him!

"Pointing to dramatic failures in stopping the September 11 terrorists from entering the country, Senator Edwards also proposed increasing the number of immigration, border patrol and state department consular officials by 10,000. He called for tripling funds for border control information technology, and condensing the confusing array of immigration documents."

But...but...but I thought that Republicans were the ones that were against immigration. They always repress minorities! /sarcasm

I wonder how quickly this one will get kicked under the rug when Edwards realizes that he needs the Hispanic vote to carry California.

I'm reeling this morning. As I mentioned on another thread, this morning my boss came in boasting of being at the Edwards' home last night for the announcement. So THAT'S where this year's raise is going? I think I'm going to be sick. I need to find a new job...
