1. Damn I missed it.

:cry:

[LandOLincoln]

3. Yep, if you blinked you missed him.

He was on for just a little longer than it took me to type the message--and I type fast.

[citizen snips]

4. Well thanks anyway.

6. It will replay tonight..11:00pm

I missed the Paula Zahn show too, but it will replay tonight. HE was also on Capital report earlier as well.

On the Capital Report, it was also about taxes and he clarified Kerry's position. They also talked abit about trade and how Kerry and Edwards now agree on the stand for Trade. Edwards is always very good when it comes to economic questions.

They ended up by hitting him up with the VP question again. He gave her a big grin when she tried to tie the two questions together to hit him up with it as though it was related. "I know what is coming next."

However, he told her that he thought he would be good at making sure that Kerry is elected and wouldn't comment on any of the rest. Though she pushed him and at the end, he just smiled and said that the talks between himself and Kerry are private.

They always have to push him on the VP thing.

2. I must have missed it--Paula Zahn was interviewing 2 displaced workers.

5. Edwards has the challenges to slanted media of the bullies

of those BUSH shills (in this case Evens)..I love to hear Edwards set an argument straight....As President Clinton says about him, he is so smooth that he can talk an Owl out of a tree....He would be a great aid to Kerry to counter the BS...John Edwards can cut through and explain an argument in half the time it takes John KERRY....It wouldn't hurt John Kerry to cut out a little of his long speeches... John Edwards is trained as a successful lawyer and John Kerry is a successful Senator and War Hero. We sure need the War Hero part, with the Phony War Time imitation of a president that the re pukes think can be successful against Kerry... John Edwards will be a great help if he does like General Wes Clark and campaigns for Kerry.... THEY ARE BOTH GREAT.... Love them both...

7. did John Kerry ask him to go on ?

he did last time.

[LandOLincoln]

9. I'm sure he did. It's my understanding that the Kerry campaign

is booking all the surrogates into as many shows as possible.

10. part of vp interview process ?

i do think it would be good to take into account these appearances and see how they do when kerry considers vp. we saw them already before when they ran themselves, but it's a bit different now and they have to presents someone elses agenda (not too hard as they agree mostly)and defend themselves and Kerry while doing a good job of being critical of the opposition. after all the vp is often the attack dog so the pres candidate can look "above the negativity".

[LandOLincoln]

11. Possibly, but Ted Kennedy and Howard Dean are campaigning

for Kerry as well, and I don't think either of them is being considered for VP.

[JI7]

12. no, this is different from campaigning for him

anyone can campaign for kerry just about anytime they want. ted kennedy's speech criticizing bush and praising john kerry was ted kennedy's own decision. but these tv interviews are different as kerry himself asks them to go on for him.

8. didn't edwards write the patriot act?

yeah... I don't like him.

[Darkamber]

13. no..he didn't write it...

I believe he was on the committee that was involved with it. He did make a statement involving the support of it but recommending the sunset clause that was added to it. He has pointed out that parts of it have problems but parts of the law had to be updated for the tech we have now that we didn't have before. At least he was involved and got the sunset clause put it. It might have been worst if he wasn't involved.

14. I was waiting for Edwards -- what a team we have out there!

Kennedy, Clark, Dean, now Edwards --
