As someone in the media who tries to be fair to all sides, I don’t like to come out and say too much about my personal political positions – but I have to say that IF I were to vote for a democrat in the next presidential campaign, it would be John Edwards. I thought that before and I feel even more strongly after this past weekend with the announcement that Elizabeth Edwards’ cancer has returned. They have shown such courage and such class in the wake of that news – and although Edwards said quite emphatically that he does not want any voters to include this news in their deliberations, I can’t help it. The way that they have handled this is tremendously impressive to me, and only underscores what I already believed – that they represent the best that America can be. I only hope that she is going to be around for a long long time, because she is such a terrific and inspirational human being.
