Elizabeth Edwards (John's wife): THE ANTI-BARBIE renaissance woman!!!

[LittleApple81]

And a commentator on MSNBC said that Kerry got a two-for-one deal because she is so smart and articulate. Go Elizabeth!!!

I love Elizabeth Edwards. An excellent article on her in the KC paper.

NOT-YOUR-ORDINARY CANDIDATE'S SPOUSE WORKS WITH BRAINS, WIT

The Charlotte Observer | February 16, 2004

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. - At the decidedly unglamorous hour of 7:15 a.m., the equally unglamorous wife of presidential candidate John Edwards strolls into Pete & George's Steakhouse to polite yet dull-eyed stares.

Elizabeth Edwards looks the part of would-be first lady in her dignified black pantsuit, pearl necklace and heavy makeup despite the early hour. The former Raleigh lawyer reaches automatically for hands and recites her litany: "Hi, I'm Elizabeth Edwards. My husband, John, is running for president. Hi, I'm Elizabeth Edwards. My husband, John, is running for president."

But these are hard-core Democrats, not easily impressed and well aware that her husband's rival, John Kerry, has all but clinched the nomination. Most keep shoveling home fries and grits as Edwards starts talking. One elderly woman whips out her compact and begins reapplying her lipstick. After a few moments, though, the forks stop moving. The lipstick gets stashed. This is not what they expected.

For one thing, Edwards lacks pretension. She scratches her head furiously at an itch. She pauses for an indelicate, early morning cough. She rushes through her remarks so fast that a Navy pilot in the crowd later wonders, "Is it possible she broke some kind of land-speed record?"

1. For those of you who did not see the two families together this morning,

try to catch them later on in the news. It was heartwarming...

2. CNN reporter Brown, Yesterday had great words for Elizabeth....

He said, he went on a date with her. Not a real date, but got to share a table with her at a Washington function, and Brown was very impressed with her intelligence, strong sence of family, beauty and charm. It was the best date he ever had.

3. With Teresa Heinz Kerry and Elizabeth Edwards we now have

two formidable women of intellect and charm our opponents do not have.
If you can tell a man by the company he keeps our two men really picked the best company!
