Elizabeth Edwards, speaking today in Chapel Hill, had a few words to say about the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy.
"It's an enormous loss for the country," Edwards, 60, said. "His absence [in the Senate in recent months] has been a hardship to health care reform. I hope... his death will be an impetus."
Edwards, the wife of former Sen. John Edwards, spoke at UNC-Chapel Hill today to promote her appearance next month at the N.C. Literary Festival, reports Anne Blythe.




Re: E. Edwards on Kennedy
Has anyone other than me had quite enough of the Edwards? "Mean-spirited " has become code for making a relevant point. The desire to steal 50% or more of ones's earnings is a catalyst for mean.
