Say No to Sycophantism

So...I was able to get my laptop inside, but for some reason my wi-fi had no signal, and the MSNBC folks of course refused to share their WPA key. In any case, Edwards was his usual charismatic self. I had a chance to talk to him after the show and I asked him about the war powers act and detention without charges, and his characterization of this was summed up by one word: "wrong". When I asked him if he would push for repeal of those sections of the WPA that permit detention-without-charges, he was a little more vague, citing that he didn't know the particulars of the legislation involved. I was a bit disapointed, I was hoping that perhaps he would have taken more notice of the official suspension of the writ of habeus corpus, but hey, I'll ask him again the next time I get a chance to talk to him on campus.

Now, Elizabeth Edwards to me did not look like a woman who has practiced law for 17 years in her life. She looked so extremely down-to-earth in a homely oversized blue cardigan and wrinkled black khakis, I don't know if this is a cultivated image or one that is natural to her, but it's the absolute anti-Hillary (who to me looks like a painted doll), and I love it. I still am not sure if Senator Edwards is ready to be President, but now I can safely say that if it's not Gore/Feingold '08, it ought to be Gore/Edwards '08.
