The Fight for Iowa Delegates Heats Up

2008-03-14T20:19:00.001-05:00

As you can see in most of my news articles tonight, the talk is surrounding John’s Iowa delegates and what they are going to do. The NY Daily News reported,"Edwards’ campaign co-chair in the state, Rob Tully, tells us the Edwards Team will be sending out an e-mail tonight asking their delegates to hang tough."Neither of these candidates can make it all the way to the nomination on their own, and

Interested in VP? "No Comment"

2008-03-08T20:19:00.000-06:00

I am excited to share an article with you tonight called, "Chance meeting fails to score a scoop". Journalist Rosemary Roberts had the pleasure of scoring seats next to John and Elizabeth this past Sunday at an UNC-Duke women's basketball game in UNC's Carmichael Auditorium. Don't worry -- she didn't pester him as they were all there for the game and not a impromptu interview for the inside scoop

Please act swiftly to overturn the FCC's Dec. 18 vote to relax media ownership rules. By co-sponsoring the Resolution of Disapproval (SJ Res. 28) introduced by Sen. Byron Dorgan, you will be taking a stand for investigative journalism, local news and competition in our state. Research shows that media consolidation means fewer perspectives and less of the news our communities need. This is

I do want to point to my favorite news article of the night: At last, John Edwards has everybody's attention. Let me just say that my favorite part of the article is at the very end in

Obama Doesn't Recognize Our Voice?

2008-02-19T14:22:00.001-06:00

I know many of you are chopping at the bit already about my title 'Obama Doesn't Recognize Our Voice'. I came across this article, The Courtship of John Edwards, which shared Obama's comments about what an Edwards endorsement could mean for his campaign. Obama was quoted to saying,"I think John still has an enormous following, I think he has a lot of credibility and so we would love to have his

Some of you may have seen "Edwards is rumored to be flying to Ohio to endorse Hillary" floating around over at the DailyKos. It was a comment stating just what the link says, it is rumored that John is flying to Ohio to endorse Hillary. There was NO SOURCE for the information.

Scheduling Conflicts Halt Obama Meeting

2008-02-12T21:19:00.001-06:00

The following article, The Edwards Primary, stated that it was a scheduling conflict as Obama's reason for not meeting with John yesterday. With that settled, it still doesn't calm the wonder that many of us have on who John is or is not going to endorse. I think if Obama meets John before March 4th, we may hear something before this date. Why? Texas and Ohio. Some big number delegate grabbing

The story of the night! Word on the street tonight is Obama has momentum now with a successful weekend at the polls. There is also word that Clinton has replaced her campaign manager.
