This is absolutely sweet!
Ooh, suddenly I feel relaxed for the first time this evening. Thank you for the wonderful news.
Another toe shot off!
Kerry and Edwards lost the South the night of the DNC freakshow in Boston.
He showed up two hours late and expected everybody to wait for him - what a Rock Star mentality! Oh, wait a minute - that's a different thread ...
Let me guess....when Edwards did arrive....he shouted "Let Them Eat Cake". What a self-absorbed arse!
I am sure that when he was working to make millions on his malpractice cases against OB-GYN practices and putting doctors out of business...well I bet he made it to the court room on time!!
fyi
President Bush was 20 minutes early in Erie Pa.
nice way to thank your supporters.
Just like when kerry rode thru the small town on a train.
Some of those people had been there for 12 hours.
Kerrys train just drove on thru, kerry blamed the conductor.
Edwards is done in politics.
Let him go back to ambulance-chasing.
And let me guess... he still billed for the hours he was "in transit."
This says more about their campaign than a hundred polls that you can post here.
This blow-dried dung beetle wouldn't have won the Democratic Senate renomination in his "home" state of North Carolina, which last saw his cow-lick backside sometime shortly after Nov 2000.
South Carolina was carried by Kennedy in 1960 by less than 10,000 votes (voter fraud at work, anyone?), and by Carter in 1976. Every other election since 1960 the Republicans have won the state's electoral votes (Humphrey came in 3rd in 1968). Bush's margin in 2000 was 220,000 votes.
Edwards is from North Carolina.

CAMPAIGN 2004
Edwards in Columbia: Let’s ‘outsource’ Bush
Staff WriterDemocrat John Edwards returned to his native state for the first time as a vice presidential candidate Wednesday, only to concede this point — South Carolina will vote for President Bush in November.
This is a “tough” state for a Democrat, he said in a brief interview after an address to a “welcome back” rally attended by some 1,200 party faithful.
He rejected the notion that Democrats have written off most of the South, however.
“That’s not true,” said Edwards, a Seneca native who won South Carolina’s Democratic presidential primary in February.
“I’ve campaigned in not every but most of the Southern states,” he said, ticking off 11 he had visited.
End excerpt.........
“The Democrats are back, and we’re hot,” said state party chairman Joe Erwin, who looked out over the predominantly white audience and said, “You look a little too hot.”
The restless crowd was not amused.
State Treasurer Grady Patterson, sitting in the VIP section, kept looking at his watch, wondering whether it was worth staying around. At times he covered his ears to shut out the loud music of the rock bands that were entertaining the crowd.
Several people left, saying they were tired of waiting for Edwards. Erwin was visibly irritated.
“Sorry for the delay,” he apologized. Erwin asked the volunteers to open all the doors to allow the cool, fall-like air to come in. He suggested the crowd take a break and mingle outside where cooler temperatures prevailed.
Some took the cue and went home. The hall was about half-full by the time Edwards arrived.
When he did finally arrive, Edwards disposed of his jacket immediately and declared, “I told you I would be back.”
Kerry promised the same while campaigning for the S.C. Democratic presidential primary in February, but he has yet to return since he won the nomination.
State party officials don’t expect Kerry to set foot in this state. Tenenbaum certainly doesn’t want him to make an appearance between now and the election.
Edwards spoke to the rally for about 15 minutes. His speech was mostly a rehash of his acceptance address at the Democratic National Convention in Boston —critical of President Bush for the war in Iraq, job losses and spiraling health care costs.
Somebody pinch me...I'm dreaming.
The only thing Edwards has a chance of winning in his homestate of NC is the Miss North Carolina Contest.
what a dufus and a putz.
