Did not edwards vote against Iraq and money/support for the troops?? Edwards signals shift against war By Mark Silva Washington Bureau Throughout his campaign for president and then vice president in 2004, former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina made it clear that the death of his teenage son in a car accident was off-limits, not for discussion in a political context. But now his wife, Elizabeth, has sent an e-mail to supporters voicing a connection she shares with Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq. As Sheehan was camped near President Bush's Texas ranch, protesting the war, Edwards called on her own family's backers to support Sheehan. And, in a departure from a campaign-trail silence that the Edwardses kept about the death of their 16-year-old son, Wade, Elizabeth Edwards noted that Sheehan's son, Casey, 24, died in Iraq eight years to the day after her own son. For John Edwards, who voted as a senator to support the invasion of Iraq, his wife's outreach to subscribers of their One America Committee Web site bears a distinct anti-war voice that could augur a new tack for Edwards as he prepares for a potential run for president in 2008. "The president says he knows enough, doesn't need to hear from Casey's mother, doesn't need to assure her that Casey's is not one small death in a long and seemingly never-ending drip of deaths, that there is a plan here that will bring our sons and daughters home," Elizabeth Edwards wrote in her e-mail last week. "He claims he understands how some people feel about the deaths in Iraq. The president is wrong." The Edwardses left questions about the e-mail to spokeswoman Kim Rubey, who said, "When Elizabeth read about Cindy Sheehan and her son, she immediately felt a strong personal connection." Rob Tully, a Des Moines lawyer who campaigned for John Edwards in 2004, suggests that Elizabeth Edwards' battle with cancer since the election has given her an added perspective. "She has gone through her own life-threatening experience, and that is life-changing," Tully said.

I love my Gmail account. The storage space keeps increasing every second...they have a little meter that shows your storage space contantly increasing. No matter how much I stuff into it...it stays at about 3% of my total capacity. To be able to search your email account with google and their unique folder system makes it all very organized and easy to retrieve any email. I also use their email alert system which is handy if you are waiting for emails to come in. They flash across your screen and show part of the message without having to go into the email account itself. It has some other features that are really nice as well. Depends on your tastes I guess. Their spam protection is the best I've ever used...no spam at all so far. And they automatically fill in your email addresses from your address book or recent emails, using a drop down window that opens whenever you try to address an email. I still have 50 invites to gmail accounts if anyone wants to try it. Just send me a pm with your email address.
