Miami Gardens, Fla. - Sen. John Edwards, visiting the state that narrowly put President Bush in the White House in 2000 after a disputed recount and voting irregularities, issued a warning Saturday to Floridians about Republicans.

"We know they're going to be up to their old tricks, right, trying to keep people from voting," Edwards told supporters gathered at a community block party. "We're going to make sure that people get to vote. We're going to make sure those votes count, and here in Florida, democracy is going to decide who the next president of the United States is going to be."

1. I am in FL and went to a community fall festival today and saw the repubs

sitting with the supposedly non-partisan supervisor of elections booth together under one awning. They had the usual supervisor of elections info on one table and the other table had bush*/cheney campaign bumperstickers and info.

7. i personally don't think they'd do it. not after watching bush literally

rip our country in two.

8. I agree

I think a couple of them might be a tad sorry they even took the case, and remember they insisted that this was an isolated case and should not set a precedent. Their reputation has been sullied because of this, and I doubt that a majority will agree to further sullying what will be their legacy, as at leaset two will probably retire. I think Scalia and Thomas will be the only two who would usher in * again.

Absolutely they would, they got away with it once.

11. Fresh voice reminds all of the old tricks...but where is Cheney?

the undisclosed VP vs. the voice of hope in Florida.

12. I sure like to hear that from the guy who'll be elected President in 2012.
