Decent Interview of JRE on Hardball

I liked what Edwards said about accepting a challenge between him, Kucinich, and Clinton: that he wanted smaller groups for debates, but no one should be excluded. Also, there was some discussion about Elizabeth Edwards' interview by Joan Walsh in Salon, as Chancelucky pointed out on a previous post. I don't understand why some of the pundits are getting riled about her comments, but Elizabeth is a very candid person, and as Edwards said, "It's not shocking that she supports me."

JRE Buzz: Statement on Scooter Libby's Verdict

Senator John Edwards released the following statement today about the recent verdict finding Vice President Cheney’s former Chief of Staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby guilty on multiple counts in the CIA leak case.

"Today's verdict in the Libby case is an important step in holding the Administration accountable for its consistent misuse and manipulation of intelligence to further its ideological agenda. But there are serious questions about whether the buck actually stopped with Scooter Libby. The American people deserve to know if Mr. Libby has been made a scapegoat in order to protect anyone else."

For another round-up of John Edwards' events, including videos and articles, go here.

Good news: 100 supporters of former 2008 candidate Tom Vilsack are getting on the Edwards train.

Don't forget to tune into MSNBC's "Hardball" this evening, where Edwards will be a guest.

Update: Here's the link to the video. It's about 8 min long.
