Edwards in Chicago Today
Met with the women who run our life's LOL .He talked about the funding bill again said send it back with time tables. Talked about the poor. Talked about how our Country and how much we owe in the world. Standing O's from all that were there. Small report I had to leave I have a kid who received his orders to go back to the sand pit. I will try to keep him out of it. He has a 30 percent rating but DOD said VA has no right to hold him from going we shall see. What Shocked the shit out of me his staff came later to talk to his wife and him. I do not know what was said.. But his wife was happy after they talked.

2. Everyone running has the right to speak to anyone
During the 2004 run Edwards made friends here. I will not get into the five year old debates here. I have earn my rights to back who ever I want to in blood. I did not support anyone in this race until he went to a Anti-War Rally. No one who is running has done that but him. End of My Reasons I will say no more about the 2008 run. I have Congress and the Senate to focus on.

3. Good Luck with your

4. The Kids is 30 percent missing two fingers
VA said he can not go back. DOD Doctors said yes he can. Edwards staff came to talk to him and his wife. When they left she was in a very good mood. Ok

5. I have seen Edwards in person, and he comes across very well...
... the tv debate was not a good vehicle for judging candidates since not all candidates got the same questions.

I will say again, let Hillary have the questions about 'haircuts and hedge funds' and give Edwards her questions that night, and the pundits would have been glowing about how well Edwards did and how undistinguished she was in that debate.

7. Yeah, our corporatemedia
do the best they can to have the outcome be the way they want it.

John Edwards must be more than a little frustrated but not one to ever give up!

8. I went to an Edwards as VP candidate rally in Tucson in 2004
and was very impressed with him.

Does that relate to today? Somewhat. But I am not ready to make any sort of an endorsement for the primaries which are not quite a year away as of now.

I need to hear from ALL candidates before my mind is made up.
