In yet another example of why more and more people are turning to the Web for their news, the DBKP blog has just uncovered information that the John Edwards campaign has been refunding campaign contributions even before billionaire Warren Buffett suggested that Edwards could be hit with a class action lawsuit. And can you guess which of the two of Edwards' Americas got the majority of the refunds? DBKP explains:
The Edwards ‘08 Campaign for President has quietly refunded almost $4 million to individual contributors, a number of them, bundlers and big backers. This should be news to Warren Buffet who recently mused that Edwards’ supporters should get together and file a class action suit. It seems another “class” has already had their contributions refunded–and it’s not the “grassroots” little guys.
We had no idea the campaign was handing out refunds until we happened to come across the information while perusing the site OpenSecrets.org and the data supplied to the Federal Election Commission by the Edwards’ campaign.
We were baffled, how did the Edwards’ campaign manage to refund that much money, almost $4 million, and no one notice? We hadn’t seen any mention of the refunds elsewhere, not on the web, not in the MSM, and not on the Edwards’ campaign website.

Specifically Conservative Websites, as the Leftist Websites seem more like Liars Support Groups IMO.
Edward’s funds should go to Mrs, Bill Clinton in her third party consideration.

Edwards also needs to give a lot of money back to the 'little people.' This guy is a scoundrel in more ways than one...
I’ll always remember just after the 2004 elections was won that Silky came on stage to the crowd adamant and outraged... “I will fight and fight for you”.... yeh right... Fight on Pony boy....
His fighting days are over. He needs to concentrate on taking care of his children...
