Great stuff!!! As a newspaper reader, may I thank you for this fabulous feature. Neither The Des Moines Register nor the L. A. Times has a vending machine in my neighborhood. Sounds like former-Senator Edwards wanted Hillary and Barack to be more open and out-spoken in their opposition to the Iraq War Funding bill. Well, Senator, had you run and won re-election in '04 from North Carolina, you could have directly participated in that and many other votes instead of watching from the grandstand.
Sartorial note: Barack wore a tie? A-a-a-a-r-g-h!
