DEL.ICIO.USMeanwhile, down in Macon, John Edwards met with his lawyers…..
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
While Barack Obama was in Atlanta stirring up an army, rival Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards stopped in Macon, where, in the offices of a local law firm, he promised to keep in touch with rural America.
“It’s where I’m from and I take it very personally,” Edwards said, according to today’s Macon Telegraph. “I grew up with eating fried chicken for dinner, going to Friday night high school football games, going to church on Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night.”
U.S. Rep. Jim Marshall (D-Macon) was there, and threw his weight behind Edwards.

Congrats to Amy Morton of Macon for all her hard work making this happen. Amy has truly shaped herself as a true Democratic political mover and shaker in middle Georgia. We need more women like her!

John Edwards… just as fed up as the rest of us with the war in Iraq, lack of an energy policy which leaves us hostage to Saudi Arabia, and lack of health insurance for 47 million of our fellow citizens (80 percent of whom ARE employed). John Edwards is fearless, calm, and ready to lead.
