Error on NH ballot listing for John Edwards.

Johnny (his real first name) Edwards should be listed as "John" Edwards, ala "Chris" Dodd, apparently.
A caller to WBZ (a Boston radio station) was yapping about this last night.

1. I'm surprised someone broke the curtain of silence even to bash him

8. On WBZ, it's bash Dems all day, all night.

Even over missing quote marks...

2. I wonder if they are putting Willard Romney and Freddie Thompson...

:eyes:

3. Edwards is still in the race? Wow, I thought he must have dropped out,

based on the coverage he is getting. Edwards is being "Kuciniched". Any candidate that wants to take on the corporations will become the invisible man (or woman)...

4. that is such a political spin. Edwards is ALL OVER the news

with no quesitons, no negative attacks. He just gets free press to state his positions.
He is highlighted, whereas Clinton is attacked non-stop.

5. I guess you haven't

googled John Edwards in News. It's mostly about Obama and Clinton in the headlines, he's just a second though.

6. No, I watch the news.

He and his wife have been everywhere. C-span running their speeches, Morning Joe, CNN, ABC. He is everywhere.

7. I agree that Clinton is being smeared on a continual basis. And it

bodes ill for the Party. If Obama is such a messenger of "hope" he should have his people stop smearing Clinton.

That being said, Edwards is slowly, but surely, being "Kuciniched" by the press and the Democratic Party - and that is shameful...

9. How would Obama supporters have reacted if he had been listed

on the ballot as "Barry Obama," the name he used in high school and at Columbia University?

I'm not sure when he reverted to Barak, but it really doesn't matter. Each candidate has the right to choose how he or she wants to be called, whether it be Jimmy, as in Carter's case, or John, as in Edwards' case.

If Willard Romney wants to go by Mitt, so be it.

Remembering how Gary Hart's opposition went after him for changing his name from Hartpence, I doubt if the "mistake" was an honest one.
