[SangamonTaylor]

i can't wait to hear it

[GAspnes]

1. same here

Edwards will have ALL these facts at his fingertips.

[SangamonTaylor]

2. ya, if he's ready to answer a question, this is it

hit it John!

[BamaLefty]

4. Expect an Asswhoopin

My parents are trial lawyers and I am really pissed over this issue. Edwards is about to kick this crooks' ass on this issue.

[Eurobabe]

3. heard on NPR today (I think) that individuals

are NOT the ones who are filing the most frivilous lawsuits, it is CORPORATIONS!

[BamaLefty]

5. Amen to that!

Another massive smear campaign by the crooks that run the GOP!

[Cocoa]

7. and Bush!

he filed a lawsuit against a car rental company for an accident his daughter was in. His insurance would have covered the damage, but he took it to court, and it was thrown out.

[SangamonTaylor]

9. it is mostly construction (contract defect) lawsuits that clog the system

(and i work for one of those firms)....

[shanti]

6. oh snap~!

you could just tell that edwards was just salivating waiting to answwer this!!!!

[Doosh]

8. A+ answer

Edwards is sitting next to a 2 cent screw right now

[Tempest]

10. Edwards completely screwed the pooch

He said nothing about how lawsuits are going down, award amounts are going down and premiums are still going up.

He also said nothing about how investment losses are the primary cause of premium increase.

[GAspnes]

11. you must have missed it

He just quoted the stat -- "One half of one percent.."

[Tempest]

12. One stat out of three?

He said nothing about the correlation between investment losses and premium increases.

That to me is the big issue.

[GAspnes]

13. he only has 30 seconds

I'd have mentioned it, but I'm not experienced at short interval debate.

[Tempest]

14. Edwards had 90 seconds

It was his question.

I would have easily gotten it out, and still had time to mention all the frivolous lawsuits Cheney filed as CEO of Halliburton.
