I saw this on another Edwards website & it made me :).
From today's Greensboro, NC News-Record:

Chance meeting fails to score a scoop
Friday, Mar. 7, 2008 3:00am
By Rosemary Roberts

John Edwards, the former Democratic presidential candidate and U.S. senator, drew the short straw last Sunday night.

The event was the UNC-Duke women's basketball game in UNC's Carmichael Auditorium. The gym holds more than 10,000 people, and Edwards and his wife Elizabeth, by chance, had the bad luck of having seats next to mine.

No politician wants to sit next to an obnoxious, pestering journalist who peppers him with political questions during a UNC-Duke basketball game when he's supposedly relaxing.

But the minute Edwards sat down, I began mentally planning my "interview."

1. Here it is. A glimpse of Elizabeth and John as parents.
I say they're darned good ones.

Great post.

2. Exactly...
It was such a refreshing window on normalcy in the midst of the partisan mayhem. Heaven knows John and Elizabeth have earned it, although I can't help hoping that they'll find their way back into the fray soon enough. Even the journalist was a nice soul.

3. This was great
What a great and gracious guy John is. I sure hope we haven't seen the last of him and his beautiful wife.

4. Stories like this just make me miss Edwards all the more
and make me realize how wonderful the two of them would have been as the President and First Lady.

Damn! Damn! Damn! :cry:

Why do the people of this country continue to shoot themselves in foot and throw away the services of another great man?

The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.

5. The fact that he said "No Comment" in answer to the
question about wanting to be Veep is a VERY GOOD sign.

6. Thanks for posting this
article. It really shows how much of a vacuum he has created with his absence in this race. The only way i work for either of the two left standing is if he is the VEEP. otherwise, to hell with it all and let the cards fall where they may.
