35. The tradition was the Edwards, NOT the Kerrys
The whole reason they were there was not a blue collar photo op, but to stay true to the Edwards' anniversary tradition, which I think is a very charming and romantic one.

The Edwards, for which this event held meaning, DID have a full meal. Why should the Kerrys, who just happened to be there, feel obligated to eat there. Maybe they didn't want to horn in on the Edwards' tradition by eating a full meal.

As for the $200 price tag, does it mention how many people those lunches were feeding? I'm sure it was more that John and Theresa.

It amazes me that when a RW rag points out something this trivial, we have a whole chorus here agreeing it was some horrible mistake. No matter WHAT Dem candidates do, the RW media will find fault with it.

Just yesterday there was an article saying O'Bama's education was a problem for him. Who knew being smart could somehow be turned into a negative. :wtf: In this case, attacking the messenger is a more appropriate response.
