Carville, Edwards to talk to Young Dems

James Carville is coming to town.

The former political strategist to Bill Clinton, now a commentator on CNN, will be one of two keynote speakers at the Young Democrats of North Carolina's statewide convention.

The convention will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel in Research Triangle Park.

Carville is an informal adviser to Democratic presidential adviser Hillary Clinton, and recently compared New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson's endorsement of Barack Obama to Judas' selling out for 30 pieces of silver.

Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who has endorsed Obama, will also speak at the event, as will former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, who has remained neutral in the race between Obama and Hillary Clinton.

All statewide Democratic candidates are also expected at the event, said coordinator Zack Hawkins.

John Edwards is a leader in every sense of the word--he leads in integrity, character, and service to his country. Though not running for president right now, he is involved in leading the Democrats towards the values we once used to hold dear--standing up for working class and poor families, ending the corruption in our government, and having the government work for the people, not the corporations.

Right now, John and Elizabeth are involved in the Iraq/Recession Campaign, and in getting more progressives elected to Congress. They are truly dedicated to serving their country and making it a better world for us all.

Right. You'd prefer a candidate who never admitted making a mistake. Someone like Dubya.
Yes, I think a lot of people care what Edwards has to say. He's an extremely bright guy, a good guy, and anything but an empty suit. You're either not listening or incapable of comprehending what you hear.

I care a great deal about what John Edwards has to say. Obviously so do Obama and Clinton.

I hope he does not endorse. Why should he support either one of those children.

The big news here should be John Edwards to speak to young Dems. Who better. Oh yeah, James Carville is big in the news now.
He is no role model.

As an Edwards supporter, I am baffled by his remaining neutral and keeping alive the rumor that he may support Clinton, whose motives for trying to get nominated seem alien to what propelled Edwards to run for the nomination. Like some others, I am repelled by the possibility of his endorsing Clinton. For many of us the choice before Edwards dropped out was either Edwards or Obama, so alike in their compassionate, non-oppotunistic views and commitments. An 86 year-old non-crank who distrusts but does not hate Hillary Clinton, I would hate to lose trust in John and Elizabeth Edwards.

Does anyone really care what Edwards has to say? I'm sure whatever he says will be recanted and regretted a few years later just like his few votes he made in the senate. Empty suit.
