his office with a petition...but the same thing happened to them as the couple mentioned in this article except that they were arrested. Edwards did apologize later but not until the parents had to get a lawyer. He didn't personally call the cops it was his staff that did it, but all the same it shows where he was coming from on the Iraq Invasion.

The other protest I talked about was mostly adults who stood with signs quietly outside Edwards $1,000 a plate fundraiser in Raleigh. Many of us had been invited to attend it! But, we were outside hoping he would come and speak to us about how and why he supported Iraq.

I'd have to go through the Raleigh News & Observer articles to find the articles...don't have time to do it. There was a time when I thought John Edwards could be president...when he first ran for Senate here. Loved his charm and enthusiasm. He went after it too soon, I think. He needed time to grow, and learn that your constituents are the most important. Maybe he's the "new breed" who thinks the fundraisers and party politico's are the most important, though. In that case, don't think given how angry we Dems are, at this point,that he will get another chance to run. It would be very hard for him to go from "private life" back to running for President. Maybe he could do it...but hopefully someone else will emerge. A Governor with experience. We seem to do better with Governors.
