The wheelchair is a Democratic magnet…

I was working at a campaign event tonight and managed to meet Senator Edwards before he went on stage. My impression after 5 minutes: he’s a very warm and approachable guy. He took a few minutes to sign some things for other volunteers and was quite gracious with everyone, including myself. Best of all, no condescension on his part that I could detect.
And here’s another with my nurse Lori, who managed to temporarily pick up her tongue off the floor.

Edwards gave a good speech, which kept with his “Two Americas” theme. Heavy on domestic issues like health care, education, national service, and balancing the budget. Sorry I’m not being more descriptive, but I’m beat. More tomorrow.

That is so cool! I’d have trouble picking my tongue up off the floor also. Rwarrrr.
Excellent ‘stache, dude!
He didn’t try to kiss you, did he? I mean, with that mustache (it’s very nice!), I’m sure he was tempted.
