I just got off the phone with the Edwards campaign

they were calling to hit me up for $100 in their end-of-the-second quarter fund-raising drive... she was a very nice woman and i let her give her pitch... then i said i would give her my answer if i could provide some feedback first... she said, "certainly..."

what i said will be no surprise to anyone who reads this blog... i said that i appreciated what edwards was doing in trying to get us out of iraq... i said that, from what i have been reading, he gave a good speech on terrorism today... i lamented novak's completely dishonest attack on edwards this morning in the wapo... then i went for the jugular...

i said that i see the united states in the middle of the worst constitutional crisis of its history and that i am not hearing ANY candidate calling it for what it is... the only one that's come even close is chris dodd... i said that unless and until a presidential candidate stands up and calls it for what it is, and starts talking about what WE can do to set things right, he or she will NOT get my support... i asked her to please pass that along to edwards, which she assured me she would... then i said that, when edwards decides to step forward on that issue, to please feel free to get back with me...
