You have to love these last-minute desperation shenanigans from candidates who already know that their goose is cooked.

The sad thing is, I still think that somehow, despite logic, despite physics, despite all of the common sense and laws of nature, Edwin pulls this off and wins the election. I'm absolutely convinced that he's going to win, however, I will absolutely do my part and vote against him to keep that from happening.

Well, I'm a little more optimistic than you are.

However, I've seen a lot in my day. Not much surprises me anymore.

Gotta love E. Smoothest ever.

Wife met him at an event...and she came home with stickers. Says he's for the poor folk. Which is true in a sense. Like Obama.

What a scene.

I gotta admit. He had a really good delivery, especially for being 1,000 years old. I still can't vote for him, though.

No one is telling you to vote for Edwards. They're trying to show you who Graves is.


??? So Edwards is just bringing this up out as a public service announcement?

Wake me when an investigative reporter does a story on this.

That won't work, either. Y'all are studiously ignoring the Cassidy payroll story.

Graves is another career politician. At least Paul started/runs a software company.


Bingo.

I was hoping for anyone but Graves or Airhead Whitney as the Republican candidate.

Still gotta go with the one who isn't a convicted felon, though.

I am so disgusted with all these politicians that I really do not care if EWE gets elected so long as he gives one liner every week or two to laugh at.

Does anyone really believe he is a bigger crook than Pelosi or Reid?

How does taking a sack full of cash from a dumpster differ from taking a big ole contribution to your PAC for passing a bill?

They are all disgusting.

What a poor strategy by Edwards. Even if true, he has to know he loses easily on the corruption measure.

You mean the internet blogger that complained that Cassidy was getting paid for doing work on the internet?

Yes, I am ignoring that story along with the T-P and the Advocate.

Again, wake me when someone credible makes the claim.

A couple of weeks ago someone had stuck one of his signs on the side of Hwy 61 north of St. Francisville. Somebody had come along and spray painted over it where it said "Edwards Con". Made for a good chuckle.

How long would the list be of Edward's hooking up people on shady deals. Ive got so much info on deals my father-in-law was brought in on (never accepted) thru Cecil Brown, I could wrote a book.

I know that there are many who follow politics thru the media and hear about stuff, but to hear it from someone's mouth who was part of the conversations is amazing.

Edwin Edwars should not be allowed to have a checking account at a federal institution. Every single thing he did had backdoor deals...every single one.

So EWE wants us to vote for him because his opponent might be corrupt?
