DEL.ICIO.USThe blueprint of a campaign
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The race for the ’08 presidential nominations — a front-loaded affair likely to be played out in a number of innovative forums over the next year – had already begun before the glow on the touch-screen voting machines went dark last week. For an early taste of it, we’ll have former Sen. John Edwards in town Friday to promote his new book, “Home, the Blueprint of Our Lives.”
The book is described by Publisher’s Weekly as a “poignant coffeetable meditation” on the meaning of family, somewhat marred by an over-political introduction, with contributions from some 60 Americans ranging from architect Maya Lin to quarterback Joe Montana. Edwards has a 2 p.m. signing at Georgia Tech, and a 7:30 signing at the Carter Center.
Edwards will also have a digital camera for those who want a photo with the ’04 Democratic vice-presidential candidate that they can download off his website. If you think the former North Carolina senator has a shot, you might want to get that shot now. The going rate for presidential fundraisers these days is about $5,000 a photo.

Edwards - a redneck with a brain that doesn’t suck.
Good man.

Huh? HE has a digital camera? Download off of HIS website? What about us? Gosh darn if we don’t have our own cameras, and DV cams and blogs and vlogs too! Sure doesn’t take 5K for us to put a picture on a blog. And WE don’t have to have permission to write-up news of the day, nor an opinion, nor an account of a (dopey) book signing, nor a campaign event.
What tail is wagging what dog here? http://spaceygreview.blogspot.com/

This Edwards fellow is the real deal. He WILL be our next President. He has spent the last few years in Iowa! We would have had him for our current President if the Democratic Party didn’t shoot itself in the foot by going with Kerry. Check him out Friday on Letterman.

Wonder why I monitor these blogs 24/7? I have no life, other than wondering why God permits southern trash to infest my planet. All retarded southern hicks should gargle with Drano to save the trouble of murdering them in their beds.

Looks like some pi$$ed off rednecks are even more pi$$ed by my truthful comments.
Too bad, trash. Let’s face it, it sucks to be you, and it has nothing to do with me.

So, NC ‘Senator Gone’ has a new book…couldnt be outdone by the wife…
Wonder if Edturds features any of HIS own mansions in the book…like the $4 MILLION one in Georgetowne? Or the 100 acre plantation, or the million $ home in Raleighwood? Ill bet those are NOT featured…
Oh yeah, its TWO Americas, Edturds…which one does HE live in?

John Edwards is MAGIC. In this red, red state, more than 450 people were fortunate enough to hear and see this man at the Carter Center on Friday.
Everyone has an opinion…Here’s mine: John Edwards represents the BEST that America has to offer and it’s just a matter of time before he and his secret weapon (ELIZABETH) are firmly elected to office. That will be a very proud day for all.

The Breck Girl is just an ambulance chasing has been. He couldn’t even carry his state NC in 04 for Horseface. He’ll be combing his hair whilst the dims ticket in 08 will be Satan’s Prom Queen, The Hildabeast, and Howard Dean for sanity.
