Ann, there is a terrific picture of Edwards on the front of today's NY Times. Edwards, his wife, Elizabeth, and their two adorable kids--Jack and Emma Claire--are in the shot. I think Kerry will relax a little bit now that he has a VP running mate. Kerry-Edwards may be the dream team. Think about it. cheers,

Like George Bush other Americans might have sat complacently in their seats after they learned that two planes had struck the twin towers in New York City, but I believe a true leader would have gotten out of his chair and phoned a few people to see what was going on. - Mephisto The following is an excerpt: "For the White House, the most devastating segment of "Fahrenheit 9/11" may be the video of a befuddled-looking President Bush staying put for nearly seven minutes at a Florida elementary school on the morning of Sept. 11, continuing to read a copy of "My Pet Goat" to schoolchildren even after an aide has told him that a second plane has struck the twin towers. Mr. Bush's slow, hesitant reaction to the disastrous news has never been a secret. But seeing the actual footage, with the minutes ticking by, may prove more damaging to the White House than all the statistics in the world. " Article: Will Michael Moore's Facts Check Out?
