What happens when Karl gets hold of Edwards trial transcripts?
Wasnt there a report about Edwards having to take back what he said in a trial about a kid's disease being usually caused by doctors delivering the baby?

How many stories like that are out there??

2. No Edwards said the disease is usually caused by the doctor and
then he had to say that wasn't true

7. I work with doctors...ob/gyns to be specific,
they're all good, conscientious people, and they really don't like Edwards. Interestingly--to me as a Clark supporter, anyway--those that I've talked politics with all enthusiastically support the General (especially those who have or have had sons in the military).

4. as an ardent Clark supporter...
I'm ashamed of what you're doing, MIMstigator. Edwards is running a positive campaign, as is Clark. Their supporters should behave the same way.

5. Sorry I don't have a link
but I read recently that before Edwards declared, he had people go over all his trial records to be sure there wasn't anything that could come back to haunt him. If they were impartial, he's good to go.

Not that that will stop Rove et al from making the effort.

9. I heard some of his arguments before the jury were quite dramatic
and utilized what could be called "purple prose". Of course, defense lawyers do use this type of emotionally powerful language (many of the top ones take acting lessons, for example) but I can imagine how it might read if it were just laid out there in cold daylight.

11. do you ever stop posting bullshit topics?
and in response to your question,(since we're talking babies and all) , what about the ones that clark has killed? face it- your candidate is doing shitty because his manner and inexperience scares the hell out of people, and no one wants a GENERAL for president after the past 4 years of neo-con imperialist hell we have been through as a country. you clark supporters are trying to fight fire with gasoline, when we can just use water. have you read the polls lately? people are sick as hell of bush- we can beat him with OUR message on OUR terms. if you so desperately want to be barked at by a general, why don't you go join the army.

John Edwards Responds to 'Junk Science' Allegations
By Marc Morano
CNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer
February 02, 2004

(CNSNews.com) - Sen. John Edwards, the North Carolina Democrat who's running for his party's presidential nomination, conceded that infant cerebral palsy usually is not the fault of the doctors who deliver the baby -- even though he argued otherwise in his days as a trial lawyer.

Edwards was responding to allegations first reported by CNSNews.com on Jan. 20. The CNSNews.com report noted that a large part of Edwards' legal career was based on "junk science," which allowed him to win hugely lucrative legal judgments or settlements against the medical profession.
