Edwards Campaigns Town Hall Style

More local stumping coverage, this time from the Nashua Telegraph (NH), which is covering a series of 12 town hall meetings Edwards is holding in New Hampshire:

The crowd for the most part was enthusiastic and applauded frequently ... Applause was noticeably absent when Edwards defended his support for the war in Iraq.

He scarcely missed a chance during the evening to note that his father was a lifelong mill worker, and that despite his success as a lawyer, he knew what ordinary peoples' lives were like ...

... "I hope we still live in a country where we can believe the son of a mill worker can beat the son of a president," he said.

That clinches it— being a millwright’s son, he’s automatically the man for the job.
What a putz!

Edwards said, ” “I hope we still live in a country where we can believe the son of a mill worker can beat the son of a president,”

But…..can we believe a truth twisting, liberal socialist, Bush hating moron, could beat a man that posesses great leadership ability, honesty, and integrity?
