Little Emma Claire's Edwards - Who's your favorite Presidential Candidate - Oops

[RamboLiberal]

I think this is cute. Ooops!

-----

The Edwardses didn’t win any Sponge Bobs, but Jack did win a dragon that he draped proudly around his neck. A Hometown Days volunteer, Kathy Knoop, presented the two Edwards children with fluorescent green t-shirts displaying the event’s cow partying theme.

Jack’s mother took him behind a tree to remove his shirt so he could proudly display the cow. As one of the stylishly dressed, New York City-based freelance photographers closed in on Jack, I wondered how much money she might get for photos of a half-naked 7-year-old boy. Whatever it is, I’m not envious.

After a brief stop at a Little League game in Beranek Park, where Emma Claire mentioned that her softball team’s name is the Hawkeyes, the family ventured on to Tipton to rejoin their favorite candidate. Oh, but that’s not entirely accurate — or at least it wasn’t on Saturday. When the Edwardses visited the Cedar County Democrats’ tent, Mrs. Edwards asked her daughter which of the presidential candidates she liked best.

Did she point to dear old Dad? No, she pointed to Hillary Clinton. One strange political event, indeed.

3. And when the Edwards got to Tipton little Jack had to stay in the

van. His mother said he "still wanted to be in West Branch at the fair. He wasn't quite ready to be with people yet."
My wife and I sat behind Elizabeth and Emma Clare as Dad gave his speech and took questions. I spent most of my time watching Emma as she tried to be still but just couldn't. She totally broke me up when she slyly put her hand in front of the camera lens as a photographer knelt next to my wife. Then she slyly pulled it away and put it back.
I cried to myself when I thought of Emma and her Mom's illness.
Emma called her Dad over to remind him that there were people behind him also that had questions.
After the speech Emma and Elizabeth chatted and with folks as if they were old friends.
My good friend the former Hillary supporter says he has only been affected by two people in his life - Bill Clinton and Elizabeth Edwards.
Another great moment in the scrapbook.
Thanks for giving me an opportunity to share this.
