Elizabeth Edwards note to DU a few weeks ago... |

Does anyone have the link? I recall her asking us to 'be patient' and I am wondering if it was related at all to tonights news on Kerry and the recount. :)

1. I don't have the link, but this is the quote she posted |
|
"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt......If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake." - Thomas Jefferson

All the good thoughts and support and terrific. Love this "rejoin your unit at the front" post because it says it all: there is a front in this war, and you can absolutely count on the fact that John and I will be there.
Further down post #588 ElizabethEdwards
And as for voter fraud, we are still piecing together the same stuff you are piecing together. I know that the two candidates had been assured that everything was in place -- and there was certainly a lot of visibility. I can't yet blame the people in the field who I believe were working hard to stop the election from being stolen. I don't think -- even in our frustration (and no one is more frustrated than we are) -- that we can say "the Democratic leaders did NOTHING to prevent the election being stolen."
