[chimpymustgo]

[LittleApple81]

1. They are such a nice looking couple and smart as whips!

[JI7]

2. where are they at ?

the background looks similar to larry kings but it seems they are talking through sattelite.

[chimpymustgo]

5. JRE and EE are in NY, I think they announced.

I believe they are doing some fundraisers tonight.

I love them.

[NMDemDist2]

3. "if they're staying here, I'm staying here"

re when the Capitol Police came to collect him to go to a "secure location" and his family had to stay ....

[Lex]

4. Edwards refused to go into hiding on 9/11

.
to stay "safe" but instead said he was NOT leaving his wife and kids.

Edwards said he told Capitol police: "If they aren't going with me, then I'm not going either. I'm staying with them."


Edited to add: Jinx! AZ.

[Dudley_DUright]

6. Edwards makes an excellent point

about how we need cooperation from other countries to prevent terrorists attacks.

[SeanOhio]

7. Excellent

He also made a great point on the attack ads: they didn't show Bush's accomplishments, since there are none.

[spooky3]

35. yes, they need to hammer that home.

9. Sweety, Anything that Kerry/Edwards can do PALES compared to what

BuschCo WILL DO if elected for the first time.

[chimpymustgo]

10. You are very wrong. Do a little research.

A domestic intelligence agency eliminates the conflict of interest inherent in an investigatory body vs a prosecutorial body.

Go JK and JRE. They are totally BAD!

22. Ah, okay. Well that'll show 'em.

[redstateblues]

24. Yeah -Vote Libertarian- Deliver Your Own Mail-Send a Message

[spooky3]

31. Edwards was QUITE clear in saying "That's a false choice, Larry"...

when King asked him if we had to give up civil liberties for security. He then elaborated, but maybe you didn't hear that part.

[JohnLocke]

11. Give me a break.

This is intelligence-sharing, not domestic spying. It's nothing that isn't being done already. Edwards's plan would make us a lot safer.

[LittleApple81]

12. Appearances do so much. And Edwards and Elizabeth come across

as "CAN DO" people... enthusiastic, straightforward, and not afraid.

[spooky3]

33. I agree. And they are amazing at acting as though they are responding to

questions for the first time. As a result they seem interested in the speaker, and extremely polished in their well-thought out answers.

They did a GREAT job.

[LittleApple81]

13. I missed what Edwards said to King (something about not all lawyers

are good just as TV anchors... or something like that, and King said "don't go there." What did he say?

[Literate Tar Heel]

15. he said there are good doctors and bad doctors

good lawyers and bad lawyers just as there are good talk show hosts and bad talk show hosts ... it was in response to a question about how he feels about being attacked as a "trial lawyer"

[LittleApple81]

16. thanks. n/t

[AlinPA]

14. I disagree with John Edwards: Tom Ridge is not "a good man".

[Lex]

17. Maybe that's his code word for

'sumbitch.'

[spooky3]

32. Notice he did NOT say "Tom Ridge has done a good job."

Big difference.

Lots of people thought Jimmy Carter was a good man who was not a good President.

[joe1991]

18. Is it too late to dump the mole?

Sorry, couldn't resist. Edwards will make a great VP.

[sandnsea]

23. Excellent interview

They were both just terrific!

[JI7]

25. coming on again

watch if you haven't already.

[Must_B_Free]

26. Liz is nervous

does she have a fused spine? she seems to turn her whole body to look at john.

nice people. horrible interviewer.

[JI7]

30. she is often like that, but at the same time she wants to say things

so it's a mix of being nervous or somewhat shy when speaking in public or in front of the cameras, but then she also really wants to say things. i like it because it shows her to be like a real person. not someone who is used to the cameras or public speaking, but also someone who has something important to say.

[Darkamber]

27. What an excellent interview...

I think I liked two things about it most of all. First King tried to get Edwards to attack the Bush administration and gave him lots of open doors to criticize and go negative. But Edwards took everyone of those statements and turned them about and brought Kerry/his visions out instead.

Some Democrats might not like that but remember who Edwards is trying to reach out to. Those undecided and borderline swing voters. He is able to reach them without putting them on defensive and thus failing to listen to anything he has to say.

Edwards did an excellent job explaining his vote for the war and his vote against the spending. As well as talking about the Bush negative ads.

But I what I like I liked the most what about where they were when 9/11 came. When Elizabeth said she was at a mall for a sale. They make how much money, but Elizabeth is going to sale. It shows how much part of the middle class the Edwards really are. And Elizabeth is a bright and amazing woman as well.

[JI7]

29. that's exactly right

it's about winning. the best way to "bash" bush is to beat him in november. and that means we have to reach out to those who don't hate bush personally and probably even like him very much but may have problems with with policies. one of the reasons kerry got edwards for vp was because he is able to reach out to more conservative leaning voters.

[spooky3]

34. Good points!
