Where the f*ck is John Edwards?

[rumguy]

I haven't seen or heard anything from him in weeks.

I've read he's campaigning in the South, but where is the coverage? Does he ever show up to be interviewd on any News shows. I only watch PBS Newshour, Nightline, and the CBS Evening News - and I haven't seen him on any of those shows, at least not recently.

Edwards should be out there spear-heading the economic case against the chimp.

1. I asked this question the other day. Must be a news blackout.

He's been on the road. REally pisses me off.

3. Ft. Smith AR

he's been in AR a couple of times in the last two weeks. It was covered on my local NPR station, which is the only local news I listen to.

4. "we're very sorry, too busy chasing bunch of vets w/

a 30year old grudge" ...and didja hear Kobe lawsuit may be settled, and there was a delay in Scotty Peterson's case, I think Amber lightned her HAIR TODAY!

(seriously) I don't know where J Edwards is....'slike they're matching the ghostly Cheney Veep-ness. Think I've only heard ONE "journalist" even wonder where he is :(

5. F'ing National Media not covering - though they must have

reporters with him. Guess he'll have to come out with his gay lover to get any press.

Here's local report from Arkansas yesterday.

6. He'll be in Wisconsin tomorrow (Milwaukee)

He's doing mime acts now.

Kidding.... he just got back from vacation and hopefully will stomp on Cheney's head any time now.

7. Maybe he's not on national news,

but he's on local news. Trust me on that. I'm in Arkansas, and Edwards' campaign stop here got coverage on the news.

Remember that voters in swing states pay a lot of attention to local news coverage. And if Kerry and Edwards keep getting the kind of crowds they have been getting, the local news can't help but cover it.

8. Well, Mark Shields a week ago Friday was wondering why Edwards

wasn't on every talk show talking about the 32,000 jobs.

Frankly, Clark should drop this WesPac stuff in places like Alaska and be on the tube every day discussing military affairs and slamming down the swift boat crap.

We've lost the momentum. To say the least...

9. What is Clark doing in AK?

14. Campaigning for Tony Knowles

& campaigning all over the country for other candidates...

& held a press conference this week to blast swift-boat guys!

Considering he is not Veep candidate, he is doing MORE than his share.

11. The Mo's in Kerry's favor in the swing states BECAUSE of the

great local coverabe Kerry and Edwards are getting from local news.

I'd like to see more national news coverage. But, hell, they're pulling thousands of people with 24 hours notices, getting great local media coverage (see my sig line) and the polls are proving the strategy is working.

For now, I guess I'd rather have Edwards connecting one-to-one in a small town in Missouri or Kansas or Arkansas, then having him on CNN not talking to people who matter one-to-one, and being mediated by news people who want him to lose.

[rumguy]

16. They are getting *GREAT* local coverage

His speeches are almost always outdoors in striking locales with huge crowds.

10. Edwards doesn't control TV NEWS!

We have almost no clue what any Dem is saying about anything. It is a News blackout.

12. Edwards was in Alabama on Tuesday

And got significant statewide coverage:

13. Johnny? He's in my bedroom right now.

Not really... just wishful thinking. }( }( }(

[rumguy]

15. I guess you like the older guys

that's cool...

Imagine the scandal if you got caught with him. Is another Bush term really worth a roll in the hay with Edwards?

If you are still relying on the corporate media to keep yourself and the rest of the American people informed, you are just setting yourself up for more disappointment.
