I met Elizabeth Edwards last night...and I have videos!
I went to an Edwards fundraiser last night and got to listen to Elizabeth speak. I adore her. She's fabulous!

I took a few short videos with my digital camera. I apologize for the short clips, but if I go much over a minute, the files are ridiculous in size.

1. Thank you!
I bookmarked this to view when I get home. :-)

Isn't she wonderful? I only "blogged" with her on the old John Edward's blog. It must have been amazing to meet her!

2. No doubt on NCLB!
Unmitigated disaster - I shudder at what high school grads will be like in a decade or even less.

Did you ask her to track down the vandals of your car? I would!

4. Damn it!
I should have! DOH!

"So uh...Elizabeth...I have a little problem. Some jackass paintballed my car because they didn't like my Edwards sticker. Can we sic the Secret Service on them or something?"

;)

As for NCLB...no doubt. My sister is a high school teacher and she abhors it. It's horrifyingly bad. Thankfully, the Edwards camp realizes that!

5. My dear huskerlaw!
I'm on my laptop right now, and the sound is sooooooo awful and tinny...

But I will be sure to listen to your wonderful videos the next time I get on my desktop!

So glad you posted these!

6. Aww, bummer!
I just added this thread to my journal, so they'll be easy to find.

The sound isn't fabulous to begin with, but on a desktop it should be ok.

:hug:

10. Thanks!
I really liked what she had to say about NCLB.

I wish I had recorded her response to a healthcare question...her answer was GREAT!

It was great to meet her...she's even more fantastic in person.

:hi:

12. The sound up here is amazing...
Ben gave me some really awesome speakers a year ago, and if I'm streaming music, it's hard to turn off!
