Edwards "Like a Rock Star" In Spartanburg



SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- John Edwards popped by the Beacon Drive-In Restaurant where he was greeted by patrons and middle school students who took a field trip to see a real live presidential candidate in person.

Joined by actors Danny Glover and Madeleine Stowe, Edwards asked the crowd to vote for him and to get their friends out to the polls, too.

"Don't just call your Democratic friends," said Edwards. "If they didn't vote in the (Republican) primary last Saturday, they can vote this Saturday. And we want everybody that can go to the polls who hasn't voted to turn out on Saturday."

Edwards popped back into the kitchen and shook hands with cooks before rolling through the gauntlet of adolescent autograph seekers on his way back to the bus.

Commented one reporter, "You're like a rock star here."

He turned with a sly grin on his face and replied, "Just here?"

I try not to say it or even think it--it can come across as so shallow. But I'm not just talking good looking--the man is INTELLIGENT and CLASSY. That is HOT.

17. Edwards is the BEST ON THE STUMP that Democrats Have To Offer...

If you have not heard John Edwards speak in person, you have no idea how strong the audience identification is with what he is saying and how he is saying it.

He exudes confidence. He is persuasive.

AND HE KNOWS HOW TO CLOSE THE DEAL....

[balantz]

18. Edwards as president will be a great and wonderful event for this country and the world!

[chimpymustgo]
