Timmeh and John Edwards at the Auction

Tue Oct 16, 2007 at 06:26:41 AM PDT

On Sunday, October 7th, John Edwards was on Meet The Press and Timmeh gave him the what for about the dire warnings, even mentioning this website by name, about the hazzards of taking public financing.

I was astonished by John Edward's response.

"This is going to be an election, Tim.  It's not going to be an auction."

My original tribute to JRE, for putting his host, and those who think he can't survive a General Election, is below the flip.

It's just over a minute.

I was lucky enough to go see John Edwards the following day, in the town I was born in, Mt. Ayr IA.  

It was worth the 6 hour drive from the Twin Cities.

From the audience I got to thank him for his answer to  Timmeh, and suggested that Iowa had lots of great auctioneers and he should use one in a commercial.  Soon.

Since it hasn't happened yet, I took the liberty of producing this one and posting it on YouTube.

If you're an Edwards supporter, and you liked my video animation, please send it along to your friends.
