I'm going to see Senator Edwards on Monday. I can't wait!!

[PresidentObama]

I had a chance to see him in 2004 when he was part of the Kerry-Edwards ticket.

I choose not to because they needed some volunteers to keep the local K-E office running.

Then in 2006, he attended the labor day picnic here.

I didn't get a chance to go because of work.

But on Monday, Senator John Edwards is coming to speak here in Springfield, Missouri.

And I'm totally going.

It's an honor and privilege to see one of our fine candidates, and especially to see my favorite and the man I think should be the next President of the United States.

Wish me luck :)

I'll try not to giggle like a little school girl.

And I'm going to try and get a picture with the Senator.

1. That's great!!!

I wish he'd come to my area, I'd love to see him!

[PresidentObama]

4. I never thought he'd come, but Missouri is a Feb 5th state and my area would be a good area for him.

I think he'd have a good chance at WOWing a lot of voters in my part of the state.

17. His wife Elizabeth is someone I'd like to talk to

She's a very real type person. She has lost weight from her Cancer but I hope she's doing better. She looks great right now.

2. I saw him in '04

in Tallahassee. There were close to 10,000 people jammed into FAMU's main quad. I was lucky enough to be in the front row since I worked on the campaign in Tallahassee and got to shake his hand. I was wearing a shirt that had pics of HW and W Bush and said "Dumb and Dumber". While he didn't comment he did look at the shirt and gave a little chuckle.

7. I just signed up via the e-mail they send me about the event to volunteer.

Donating money isn't enough.

I will do everything I can ;)

13. Your hard work is paying off, flyarm.

I've been seeing a LOT of comments on SC message boards the past few days about the on-the-ground Edwards folks in South Carolina. Comment after comment...people are saying that the Edwards folks are everywhere and that they are making a difference. They say the callers and canvassers are well informed and enthusiastic. A few weeks ago, no one was even mentioning Edwards on these forums. Yesterday, I saw a thread go 4 pages with people talking about Edwards. One lady said she was so excited because she felt like part of a grassroots movement. Honestly, I could go on and on about the nice things that are being said about you all. (Or I should say y'all) People are changing their minds because of what you are doing. People are making up their minds because of what you are doing. Republicans! are even saying these things and the ones that didn't vote last week are saying they are going to vote tomorrow for John! Thank you Thank you Thank you!

23. That Picture

Good god damn could he be any more gorgeous? Holy shit 'nuff said. Pey and I walked in the rain and cold tonight, and we are on the stump for him tomorrow. Go baby Go!

[lisainmilo]

14. Thank you for your work and commitment!

:patriot:

[avaistheone1]

8. You lucky dog! Be sure to go early.

I went to see Kerry/Edwards in 2004 in Oakland,CA and it was impossible to get in. People were lined up for more than a block.

[asdjrocky]

9. Nothing like being there.

I saw him speak first on Nov 19, and I've been 100% Edwards since. I've now seen him speak 3 times and to do that, I had to go to Iowa.

I've always said, if you see him speak in person, it's impossible to turn away from the message.

Thanks for the report.

[7horses]

10. Cool!!!

[stravu9]

11. Yes! Get A Picture !

Post it !We'll all applaud!

[NastyRiffraff]

12. Oh, how I envy you!

Good luck, and have fun! Be sure and post the picture!

15. Nixon was the last Presidential candidate I saw in person

He came to our NY State town. We went to the convention hall but couldn't find a seat. He walked with those two arms up and the victory symbol...ballons falling around his head.

That whole time was disruptive because of Vietnam, protests, etc. Nixon didn't seem to want to win the war just like Bush now.

Nixon went very bad after he became President. At least he gave the old Medicare and didn't remove our rights. He was a Quaker but we saw no religious agenda. It's so different with the candidates today who use God in their sentences, etc.

It will be a long time before I vote for a Republican no matter what the office.

16. Tell John I said Hi!

And give Elizabeth a big ol' hug from me. They don't know me from Adam but tell them Pam says "hi.":)

Good luck and have fun.

[UALRBSofL]

20. I'd like to say ! ! ! !

We rarely get a democrat to come here, it's always a republican. When Bush came he filled up the civic center.

That said, If I weren't a Hillary supporter I'd vote for John just for his looks, LOL :}

[Triana]

18. Ohhh! Give him a hug for me if you get a chance!

I lurves me some Johnny Edwards.

[Control-Z]

19. I envy you.

Be sure to give him all our DU love if you have the opportunity!!

[MagickMuffin]

21. You're Sooooooooo Lucky ;=D

I'm so excited you are Finally Getting YOUR chance to see John.

If he makes it till Denver and is the nominee, I sure hope he comes to Texas.

Have FUN, Kerry2008:hi: and take lots of pics to post..

[lame54]

22. Great - To get pumped for it watch this...

24. You will be even more inspired than you are now after you hear Edwards

I saw him in Johnstown, PA in 2004 and in Pittsbugh in 2006 (he was speaking at a fundraiser for Bob Casey).

Wonderful speeches.
