Run In With Mr. Edwards

Edwards, Kerry, Bush and Cheney have relatively little to do with these

away from them. If anything, Kerry's campaign has requested that security
of this sort be less rather than more.

I'd say my experience serves as evidence to the contrary.

The Democrats claim to be the "party of the people" -- yet they treat
potential constituents like this? Heck, my family couldn't even approach
THE FENCE with a camera, let alone get close to Edwards himself.

And just how close do you think you would have got to Cheney or Bush? Let's
keep your inconvenience in perspective -- you are wrong to blame either
Edwards or the Democrats (I am actually a Republican, so this is an unbiased
comment).

Now, mind you, if Edwards was a "somebody" (I.E.: The Vice-President. The
President . The King. The Pope) I might understand this kind of
fascist-brand of security -- but he is NOBODY.

He is a vice-presidential CANDIDATE, which ranks him just ahead of Orca the
Whale in national importance.

The whole situation is absurd.
