How nice to see two great families! Those Heinz boys are so nice looking, the Kerry girls are fantastic, the Edwards kids are adorable! Dang, I'm proud to be a Dem!

Edwards speaking now...he's so smooth... He just brought up working together in the Senate...that's a nice image - teamwork. He's going to be a GREAT salesman for Kerry!!!

8. What a contrast...
All the nastiness of the repugs just looks even blacker and more evil when these two families get together and speak publicly. Even the media can't spin the genuine words and the warm, American family vibe that Kerry and Edwards give off together.

I love hearing them speak. It feels like I am already listening to the Pres. & VP of the U.S. It must make the soul-less *-ies cringe.

Edited on Wed Jul-07-04 07:48 AM by bunnyj
Just love her. She is so positive. Chris and Vanessa seem very close, don't they? This is the first I've seen much of Elizabeth Edwards. she looks like a real person, speaks from the heart, a great person too.

Those little kids are precious! :loveya:

Did you notice Kerry picking up little Jack Edwards and swinging him around? What a great pic!

19. Good message!
"To fight a MORE EFFECTIVE war on terror."

Good message. I think most people realize Bush is f*cking this "war on terror" up, and is just doing what he does to help out his oil buddies and family.

Edited on Wed Jul-07-04 08:19 AM by LittleApple81
to attack the vision these two families presented today because America wants to heal and this image is very positive.

21. I thought it was very healing picture they presented.
Very Camelot-esque.

34. Yes, exactly.
That is what I said to my husband, "It looks almost like Camelot again, doesn't it?"

35. Yes, exactly, Lex... We want our Camelot back!!!
Camelot is synonomous with loving times. When our country was run by a family beloved by the World.

The sumptuous setting of all the luscious greenery at the Kerry estate...

It might be a good pr move to float a future advertisement depicting a knight in shining amour cantering along those rolling hills aboard a steely white horse carrying a white banner trimmed in gold fringe unfurling itself in the wind..

with just a voice over announcing, "Help is just a lever away"..as the words: "Kerry.Edwards, A New Team for America." roll across the screen.
<sigh>

22. Very heart warming to see our next President and VP with their
families.

Compare that to stupid and incompetent Bush and his heartless go-f*ck-yourself

23. MSNBC bimbette: is there a risk coming out this early?
No because Bush is not doing well. So it is not just going to be a bump but something that can be maintained.

24. This guy Coleho is great: Experience for Edwards? What has Cheney's
experience brought us? An unjustified war and the insistence in repeating "facts" that have been disproven. GOOD FOR HIM!

25. kerry/heinz and edwards family looks like ONE big family
look at how great kerry is with edwards little son jack. and kerry's daughters get along really great with edwards. they are very comfortable with each other. it's like kerry and edwards are brothers and they are getting together for a family reuinion or something.

as they were walking away from the news conference? Very nice.

26. Kerry and Edwards make a great team,
and to see both families together is a nice image.

This photo op today, as opposed to during the announcement yesterday, is a piece of great strategery on the part of the Kerry team. The Kerry/Edwards ticket has just received two days of free publicity. Compared to that, the Republican response seems like small potatoes.

27. Just an aside: there were so many TALL, TALL men in there.. Edwards
looked short (handsome but short). I forget how tall Kerry is! and his step son also, apparently.

31. Pretty good looking group too!
Not to seem superficial, but they are all very nice looking, without seeming artificial. I didn't get to see much of Cate Edwards - did they say she just finished college?

29. What a nice presentation of the future First families..
The Kerry/Edwards team are a fine representation of what OUR America used to look like. They are a sight for the sore eyes that have been pummeled daily by the hateful, warmongering, divisive corporatist we have been saddled with these last four years.

Best Wishes and stay safe all!
