Edwards joins workers on strike - owner of cement plant unrolls 10-foot-long Hillary banner...

From the Boston Globe:



SIOUX CITY, Iowa -- John Edwards, speaking yesterday at a rally in support of striking Teamsters members here, encountered an unexpected protest of his own.

As Edwards praised the workers for their courage -- they have been on strike since last October -- the owner of the Standard Ready Mix cement plant unrolled a 10-foot-long "Hillary For President" banner in front of a truck next to the rally.

"Cute, that's cute," Edwards said, pausing for a moment as he watched the huge blue and white banner unfurl in support of his rival. It was the first stop for Edwards as he kicked off a two-day Iowa trip that focuses on trade and economic policies. Today he is delivering a major address in Cedar Rapids outlining what he bills as a smart and safe trade policy that grows the economy for all working families while protecting labor and environmental standards.

6. Now I'm really liking this guy. The owners did us all a favor;)

This is imagination. He's gaining steam but he really has to go full tilt populist and somebody
has to investigate that prick hair dresser. I looked up some stuff on Solomon the AP reporter who
wrote that story. It was clearly a hit. But the hair dresser, what a punk. Nobody in the service
business tells tales about their clients unless they're induced or totally incompetent. I suspect
this guy was motivated and I wonder about Solomon's motivations.

Way to go Edwards!

19. This reminds me of the "spontaneous moment" ...

When the statue of Saddam was taken down.

I bet every business in the area has a "Hillary for President" banner on hand and ready just in case John Edwards decides to stop by and campaign. I mean picket.
