An Atlanta vote for Edwards
Posted at: Tuesday, March 2, 2004, 10:19 AM
Sen. John Edwards got in one last lick at campaigning for the Democratic
presidential nomination this morning when he visited a polling place in
southwest Atlanta.
Reporters and photographers outnumbered voters when the North Carolina
senator made a quick visit to the Quality Living Service Center, a senior
citizens’ center, just off Cascade Rd.
But he won at least one vote just by showing up.
Christel (cq) Jackson, 41, an actuarial analyst , said she had been
undecided when she arrived at the polling place with her 5-year-old son at 8
a.m.
But she was voting for Edwards. “He came to my community and that made it
personal for me,” she said, adding that she had also received a phone call
from a “live person” in the Edwards campaign seeking her vote.
