Edwards' Children Hunt Candy in N.H.


BEDFORD, N.H. (AP) -- What do you get on Halloween if your father is running for president? A big media entourage.

Democrat John Edwards, his two children and some friends went trolling for candy Wednesday in a neighborhood of long driveways and mini-mansions, trailed by still photographers, a half-dozen videographers, sound technicians, reporters and costumed campaign aides.

"Thank you, thank you very much," Edwards called out to people who opened their doors. He reminded Emma Claire, 9, and Jack, 7, to do the same.

"What's the word, E.C.," he said as his daughter streaked from one lawn to the next, kicking up leaves in her path.

"Through here!" she shouted to her gang.

1. LOL! How cute! "EC" ignored Dad's manners lesson--hey, there's candy out there.

Can't let politeness slow you down.

I think Obama said he was going trick or treating with his kids too.
