I went to see John Edwards in Council Bluffs, IA
He is a great speaker--very charismatic. I was also reminded of the power of our political process. We all go to these rallies and somehow believe in the power of our vote. I felt patriotic.

1. Helped at the Kerry visit
LAst week in Tipton, Iowa. It was a rush. Working with folks who actually talk to the MAN. And what a rally it was. Made me go out and bust the unbusted parts of my butt.

3. Well, actually, no
He wasn't there very long. He took some questions on healthcare. But it was exciting to see him.

4. saw Edwards in Saginaw MI last week
very powerful and magnetic in person.

also, I teared up several times looking around the very diverse
crowd, full of hope and enthusiasm and outrage, and looking
for a champion to turn this country around. Inspiring.
If Kerry is within 200 miles this month I'm going...
