John Edwards! No, Not the Psycho Necrophiliac Guy, the Good One

John Edwards will announce he is running for president this coming Thursday, says the New York Times. His aides report that he will do so in New Orleans, and use the likelihood of a slow news week to take advantage of air time.

This is exciting news for Democrats, and only thickens the race between big name presidential nominees. He is a liberal democrat from a red state. He is a multi-issue candidate who has the added advantage of the failed vice presidential run in 2004. Yes, advantage, because the blame for that loss is mostly on Kerry's shoulders.

Most people know this was coming. Edwards spent most of the last 2 years in Iowa, semi-campaigning for his books and his charities. I noticed on his blog he thanks the Iowa Democrats for their creativity during his food drive. Sucking up is the first step towards winning.

I'd like to see how it works out for Edwards. I like his politics. The only problem I can see is that he shares his name with the guy who hears ghosts.
'I'm seeing a person, his name begins with a "h" sound, maybe a "g", or a "z", or a "j"'
'John Edwards?'
'Yes, John Edwards. And he is doing something in a place, it has some green, some brown. It could be outside, but it may be inside and it has wood, or concrete, or water.'
'New Orleans?'
'Yes, that's it. And he is doing something. He is yelling, he may be breathing or perhaps speaking.'
'Announcing his candidacy for President in 2008?'
'Yes, that's it! Exactly! Edwards says "hi"'
'John Edwards isn't dead.'
'Well, he almost was after 2004.'

That was lame, sorry. Good luck Edwards.
