Yes, those are "John Edwards 08" bumper stickers on the Fred Walser RV at today's Monroe Chamber of Commerce candidate forum.
Update: for some reason, this post on John Edwards seems to be attracting more spam than most posts, and as the conversation is dead the last several days, I'm disabling comments early.

It seems that Joseph Farah agrees with me. Watch a video of him from WorldNetDaily here.

The truth is either he, or someone like him will win in 2012, if Obama doesn't win this year.
Since that is the case, it is better to fight Obama now than later.

Learn to read before you post again, please. Really, it will help.

Posted by: RBW on August 13, 2008 01:50 AMMaybe you can talk about them great slums old Obama help to create in his elected area.
See, he did get ONE thing done.
Just to bad the people who live in that rat mess don't think much of him.
Posted by: Army Medic/Vet on August 13, 2008 06:23 AMWish I had read your post before I used an open flame (which was recommended by John Edwards).
Blew my damn RV up.
Guess I should have turned off the Propane tank first.
I still love John Edwards though.
Apparently the open flame he was talking about is the one coming out of his derierre these days.
You Conservatives are pretty smart.
Got a spare McCain bumpersticker???
And please hurry.
I burned up my RV and the only thing that survived was that darn Edwards sticker!
And the firefighters returned it to me and I foolishly stuck one on my foreward and another on my butt.
It must be coated with asbestos or something.
And that Super Glue adhesive really is permanent!
When Barack Obama was young and poor but lucky, he received a scholarship to Honolulu's prestigious Punahou School, an elite private K-12 school where tuition now tops $16,000 a year.
Today, Sen. Obama sends his two daughters to a private school in Chicago that costs $15,528 a year - for kindergarten.
And yet our presumptive president disses school choice because, while "it might benefit some kids at the top," it "leaves a lot of kids at the bottom."
We know that's how "progressives" garner ringing endorsements from the National Education Association, the teachers union whose core mission is protecting public schools from competition.
But as The Wall Street Journal recently editorialized, Obama has it completely backward.
It's not privileged kids who need school choice; they can afford private schools or can move to neighborhoods with decent public schools. It's the poorest kids - those stuck in wrecked inner-city districts - who choice helps the most.
Charter schools, voucher plans, opportunity scholarships and other alternatives exist in our broken cities, but they are still too rare and don't begin to satisfy the demand.
Obama - himself a poster child for the efficacy of school choice - has a unique chance to invigorate the public-private debate in education. Instead, he panders to teacher unions by expressing disdain for the "tired rhetoric about vouchers and school choice."
So much for the politics of change.

It's kinda' like expecting me to get all teary eyed over the single mother who is being deployed to Iraq WITH THE REST OF HER ARMY RESERVE UNIT when she knew full well what she was signing up for when she enlisted in the reserves.

It was only the day before yesterday that Goldy was panting after Pretty John like a red-headed bastard stepchild looking for legitimacy, but family chickens are coming home to roost in the family. Of course Goldy needs a paternity test to nail things down in court, but in the court of public opinion the verdict's in: Goldy Edwards is really Goldy Edwards.
Ann Coulter lays out the parameters of the pedigree, right here. Coulter's essay is a primer for young amnesiac readers who didn't know or who forgot about Goldy Edwards's Kennedy soul brothers, including the Olympic gold-medal swimmer and senior senator. That's Senator Edward Goldy Kennedy, recently lauded as a "national treasure" by NPR's Dan Schorr.

My point is simply that she has every right to expect that her husband won't be one of those people who does do as you describe. NOT everyone does it.

Shrug. If Fred Walser wants to be associated with John Edwards at this point, fine by me.
Oh, and you forgot to add Reagan to the second list.
I don't know about Reagan. I admire him and he was a powerful charismatic guy. I'd say the over under is even on that one.
