Sen. Edwards: ‘I had to stand up and say no’
Sen. John Edwards:  “I'm no poll expert, I'll tell you that. I … seen a number of polls that show the race is basically a dead heat in North Carolina. What I do know is that as we move forward and as people in North Carolina, I believe, embrace the idea of me being on a national ticket — somebody who's represented them and they feel a real closeness and affinity to — and as they know more about John Kerry, I think they'll embrace this ticket.”

Katie Couric: “Really? A liberal Democrat from Massachusetts?”

Edwards: “No, no. That's a good try, though. No. Somebody who got out of college, volunteered for military service, was a hero in Vietnam, who the men who served with him in Vietnam still look up to and respect and have great affection for. I mean, where I come from, the way you judge what somebody's made of is not by what they say in a political speech, but what they've spent their life doing.”

1. Edwards is like my dog
His bite is much worse than his smile.

(three people have gotten bitten because my pup is so adorable they don't believe me when I tell them to not touch him because he bites)

Biting dogs aren't exactly a source of pride, ya know...

5. THIS is why they are so afraid of a trial lawyer
He knows all the tricks and will NOT let them put words in his mouth.

Heh heh...

7. I see MSNBC cut off part of Elizabeth's best response at the end of Day 2.
No surprise there!
