Edwards Endorses Edwards
More cattiness from candidates’ spouses, please.  I like this part:Â
“The problem for me with the other candidates is I don’t know what it is that drives them,” she explained, “I should think the president has to be somebody who has that kind of vision outside themselves.”
She means like this, right? Why can’t more people be like her husband?
Mrs. Edwards praised her husband for apologizing for his vote in favor of the Iraq War, and questioned Senator Hillary Clinton’s, D-N.Y., for not doing the same.
“She even, in the New Hampshire debate said, ‘I made a mistake.’ People are looking for a mea culpa from her. And when she buried a line like that –- I give her credit for saying that –- but when she buries that line… we’re electing a leader of the free world, and just like the votes on this last funding bill, we’re looking for a leader,” Edwards contended.
And while Senator Barack Obama, D-Ill., was in the Illinois state legislature and not the Senate in 2003, Mrs. Edwards equally questioned his motives.
“Obama gives a speech that’s likely to be extraordinarily popular in his home district,” Edwards said, “and then comes to the Senate and votes for funding… so you are going to get people behaving in a holier-than-thou way.”
Holier-than-thou pols? No way! Speaking of funding, when’s Ann Coulter going to give the Edwards campaign another boost? Edwards is at her fundraising best in adversity.

The Edwards campaign might be doing better if Elizabeth were running instead of John.

But would her hair look as nice?

Elizabeth Edwards repeatedly makes the mistake of parsing her criticisms too finely.
Her explanations for her “points” make her seem slightly daft.
She’d be better off just cutting to the chase…”john good, opponents suck”

They must have Mrs. Edwards saying those things so that her husband won’t look “catty” saying them. Surely they don’t think they must handle Hillary differently because she’s a she, and they don’t want Edwards to look like a bully!

Well, then they’re both daft.
Honestly, I don’t think John Edwards (in particular) has the intellectual marbles to be leader of the free world.
His Peter Principle limit was reached batting the baby blues in front of a jury.
I totally gave up on him the day he stated, when running as the other John’s mate…
“If John Kerry is elected, Christopher Reeve will walk.”
(the “stem cell” thing)

I personally can’t wait for these people to get into high office. Think of it! No more little girls without coats, no more wheelchairs, no more sadness or meanness in the world, and no more cloudy days either because with enough taxation they can apparently control the weather as well… Yay!
It will be just like other places the Dems have had a free hand at running without bothersome dissent from mustache twirling selfish right wingers. Places like Detroit, New Orleans, and Washington, DC!

VotC, what it means is, with all of the taxes being taken, we’d be so worried about finding a dry place to sleep that we wouldn’t worry about the weather or clouds.

Lizzie should stick to things she’s good at, like picking John-John’s campaign bloggers.
Oh, wait…

They are working on that pesky First Amendment speech thing (unfortunately, with the help of too many Republicans!) so that we won’t be able to say much about how bad things get, or the way they’re spending our money.

God, you are all so “catty”. Your sarcasm, drips from the fingertips. Glad I’m not that way. In fact, I have no friggin idea what sarcasm is.
I think Elizabeth Edwards would make a fine Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, balloon.
