no sour milk for Edwards

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I'm betting his wife has had more than a few meals at Wendy's...
 
 
 No Sour Milk for Edwards
 
 Trying to prove himself as the down-to-earth American that he argues Dick Cheney is not, Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards was grilled on his everyday know-how on Don Imus's radio show yesterday morning.
 "Well, what do you think a gallon of milk costs in Albuquerque?" Imus asked.
 "I think a half a gallon of milk costs about $2.30, $2.40, is that right?" responded the multimillionaire trial lawyer-turned-senator.
 "Actually, it costs $4.19," Imus said. (Come to find out Edwards was right on the money: It's pertinent to note, as the Associated Press did, a half-gallon of milk at the Safeway in Edwards's Georgetown 'hood costs $2.29.)
 As for beer, Johnny-boy owned up to his naivete. "I have to be honest with you, I haven't drank a six-pack of beer in a long time, so I don't know the answer to that." Fair enough.
 But we bet he can tell you the price of a Wendy's cheeseburger. (Though its 99-cent menu does help.) He and wife Elizabeth have been celebrating every wedding anniversary at the fast-food chain going on 27 years now.

This is just sad.

I have a feeling it's done because that's where they met or something else just as cheesy.

I attended a fund raiser this weekend for Edwards and had a chance to see him in action.  He is fairly down to earth and I enjoyed the opportunity.  I hope he has a long political career because I find him more statesman than politician, and that's never a bad thing.

The Edwards celebrate at Wendys because on one anniversary they were in the middle of moving and the only place open was a Wendy's....the next year there was another reason why they ended up at a Wendy's, at it just became their own little tradition.....I'm sure the Republifacists will put some spin on it for a negative ad, seeing as they have no positive ads to spin about themselves.

There was an interesting article in the Post over the weekend focusing on Elizabeth Edwards. Didn't know they had another son who died in a car crash.
