Elizabeth Edwards emerging in campaign (Great Article)

The couple, who met at University of North Carolina's law school, share a similar political philosophy, yet they do not always agree. That includes the Senate vote to authorize war with Iraq that John Edwards has said was the most important of his career.

She was opposed from the beginning. She did not feel there was provocation for war and she did not trust President Bush with the authority. But John Edwards decided to vote the opposite way and she did not try to change his mind.

On a blogger who irritated her on Huffington Post.

"I have to admit that I typed something probably a little spicier, you know, nothing profane or anything," she said. "But I took that out and thought, `I need to convince this guy, not to alienate him.'"

On criticism of the size of their new house.

"I'm not going to apologize for the house," she said. "We don't go on fancy trips, we don't buy fancy cars — this is how we want to spend the money that John earned."

1. Thanks for posting this!
The more I hear about Elizabeth Edwards, the more impressed I am. John Edwards is a lucky man. And we'll be a lucky country to have her as first lady.

BTW, K&R
