Talkin' ... Mac n' Cheese with Ma Edwards
By Jim Tankersley----
John Edwards can't personally cook Thanksgiving dinner for each of his supporters -- that might be more of a, say, Mike Gravel kind of possibility -- but his mother is offering campaign donors some help with their holiday trimmings nonetheless.
For the low, low price of $20.08, Bobbie Edwards writes in a fundraising appeal today, a contributor can secure five favorite Thanksgiving recipes from the Edwards family and their top campaign advisors.
Bobbie Edwards promises to send her daughter-in-law Elizabeth's recipe for bread pudding, campaign manager David Bonior and his wife Judy's recipes for "Sweet Potatoes with Apples" and "Mushroom Soup," and strategist Joe Trippi and his wife Kathy's recipe for "Old Fashioned Down on the Farm Country Stuffing." The highlight, or at least we assume, is Bobbie Edwards' personal Mac n' Cheese recipe -- "one of John's favorites," she says.
Read on for the full culinary pitch:
Dear Friend,
This is John's mom, Bobbie. I just wanted to send a quick note from our family to yours to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!
John's dad and I have been out on the campaign trail with him this past week, listening to him talk about change. I couldn't agree more that we need big change in America today. But at Thanksgiving, it's nice to take some time to think about all that we have to be thankful for -- and to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal.
And, this Thanksgiving, Elizabeth and I, along with David Bonior and his wife Judy, and Joe Trippi and his wife Kathy, from John's campaign team, want to share our favorite Thanksgiving recipes with you.
As a member of our campaign family, If you donate just $20.08 (for the year we'll elect my son the next president of the United States!), I'll send you Elizabeth's recipe for bread pudding, David and Judy Bonior's recipes for "Sweet Potatoes with Apples" and "Mushroom Soup," along with Joe and Kathy's recipe for "Old Fashioned Down on the Farm Country Stuffing" -- and my own special recipe for one of John's favorites, Mac n' Cheese!

I think it's nice for all of us to share some of the same food at our Thanksgiving tables. For me, it's a way to feel close to you and all of the wonderful people like you who are supporting John in this very important campaign.
So please take a moment to show your support today -- and this Thanksgiving, we'll all be able to share something together!

Sincerely,
Bobbie Edwardshttp://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/politics/blog/2007/11/talkin_turkey_actually_man_n_c.html:)
