Don't leave a message at the beep


If you're calling for John Edwards, try another number.

The former North Carolina senator helped get the UNC Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity started to focus on one of his pet issues.

But the center recently changed its after-hours message to discourage callers looking for him.

"Please note: Senator John Edwards is no longer affiliated with this center and cannot be reached at this number," says a woman's voice on the center's voice mail. "Thank you and we look forward to speaking with you."

between the poverty center, the hedge fund, and the free college program. We can also remember that he came into the senate right during the impeachment and got under the guiding light of tom daschle, and would have thought he would have learned something from Bill Clinton but he must have learned how to be presidential at that time as democrats would say.

Re: Don't leave a message at the beep

The former North Carolina senator helped get the UNC Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity started to focus on one of his pet issues -- getting elected president.

And the N&O and almost every other media outlet in the state gave him a free pass for this thinly veiled front for a campaign office. And who funded this effort again?
