About an hour ago, I was on the new chat service that OAC Blog offers. I saw Elizabeth Edwards lurking and had hoped she would join us for a few minutes. My wish was fulfilled. I got to finally meet her through the Real-Time Discussion room (here's the URL:
http://blog.oneamericacommittee.com/chat/General).
Here's a little bit of the discussion:
Elizabeth Edwards:
Actually, I am supposed to be preparing for a forum on the internet, not actually using the internet, so I can't stay long. But what a nice break!
Thread Opener:
hi Mrs. Edwards! Welcome
jproano:
It's very nice to talk with you- even briefly

Elizabeth Edwards:
Thanks. This will be a great resource -- particularly when there is breaking news to discuss.
Thread Opener:
Benny, look who is here
benny:
Greetings!
benny:
Hello, Mrs. Edwards
benny:
Nice to see you here
jproano:
I had a dear friend tell me that JRE was great in Brussels. His speech on NATO was very well received.

benny:
I really like this chat room, Mrs. Edwards
Elizabeth Edwards:
"Greetings" is the message from Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut, wasn't it? The message that all the earth's history was designed to help convey.
Elizabeth Edwards:
Great news that he was well-received in Brussels. No surprise, of course, :>) but still good to hear.
benny:
The company who created this shares yours and your husband's vision of engagement
benny:
I forgot about Cat's Cradle..lol, been so long since I read it
jproano:
Yes. The whole blog is great. Best out there!
benny:
Mrs. Edwards, I did mention you in my tribute to my mother and all OAC moms here, btw
