CNN: John Edwards to Announce Bid for Presidency Here in Louisiana

According to “official” sources, former Senator John Edwards (D-NC) will be announcing his candidacy for President later this month from the Lower Ninth Ward neighborhood in New Orleans, a neighborhood that was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina.

CNN reports:

Edwards also plans to travel from New Orleans through the four early presidential nominating states — Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Among Democrats, Sens. Hillary Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois are drawing the most attention almost two years before the actual vote.

Edwards, however, is in a strong position as the leading candidate in Iowa. He was a top fundraiser in the race for the nomination in 2004 before he became Democratic Sen. John Kerry’s running mate.

  2. And he has such lovely hair.

    Will John Kerry be available for a repeat of those wonderful photos where they could not keep their hands off each other?

    Also will “Dollar Bill” Bill be introducing Edwards, it’s not too late to ask Jessie and Al to come on down too.

  4. He’s a great candidate for moderate southern democrats. And Bush/Cheney/Rumsfield won’t be a very hard act to follow. The only two honorable people in that whole administration were Powell and Armitage. Powell could make me vote republican.
