Edwards' daughter chooses... Hillary!

[wyldwolf]

After a brief stop at a Little League game in Beranek Park, where Emma Claire mentioned that her softball team’s name is the Hawkeyes, the family ventured on to Tipton to rejoin their favorite candidate. Oh, but that’s not entirely accurate — or at least it wasn’t on Saturday. When the Edwardses visited the Cedar County Democrats’ tent, Mrs. Edwards asked her daughter which of the presidential candidates she liked best. Did she point to dear old Dad? No, she pointed to Hillary Clinton. One strange political event, indeed.

1. Emma Claire is, what, five or six years old?

I'm sure she had excellent policy reasons for her "choice."

[wyldwolf]

2. probably Clinton's strong record on education and children's healthcare

3. I think she's eight now.

But, yeah, she's not gonna be voting anytime soon.

5. Yeah, John will make sure of that!

"You're voting for Hillary? Go to your room, young lady! You can come out when elections are over!" I guess that's why you have to be 18 to vote. :rofl:

Cute story, though. :) Means nothing, it's just cute. At eight, she might have trouble thinking of Dad as anything other than DAD, so the question didn't completely register with her.

8. Can we say...again....

Vice President Edwards?....Maybe that's what this is all about. :shrug:

12. I don't think that's what he'd say, I'd expect something more like -

"You're voting for Hillary? Go to your room, young lady! By the time you get there, the elections will be over!"

[jobycom]

15. LOL!

:rofl: Ah, that's too funny. The Edwards House, the gift that keeps on giving! :rofl:

[woo me with science]

4. LOL

At least she picked a Democrat!

[PurityOfEssence]

6. I doubt Hillary's ever told her she couldn't watch TV

Shrewd campaigner, that Clinton...

[endarkenment]

7. Link to drudge for this idiocy?

Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?

[venable]

9. she was joking...she laughed and then pointed to her dad

of course, the reality of the moment doesn't matter. all that concerns most is what hay can be made of something that didn't, in fact, happen.

[Forkboy]

10. weak

[wyldwolf]

11. cute

[Forkboy]

13. aww

:)

[ejbr]

14. That defines Democrats, whether she was serious or not.

We allow EVERYONE to think for themselves. :)

16. Leave it to Drudge to publish BS again. Elizabeth Edwards says:

"It was Emma Claire, who pointed to a Hillary pin slyly and then, smiling pointed to her father. A nine-year sense of humor -- you would have thought Matt Drudge would have been able to pick up on that."
