John "Lonesome" Edwards Meets His People

Is anyone watching John Edwards' Town Hall? Surrounded on all sides by old Iowa hausfraus, shut-ins, pea-pickers, chattin' all folksy-like about the Sudan an' Global Warming, John Edwards has finally become Andy Griffith in A Face in the Crowd .

Elsewhere, Al Sharpton is shouting about James Brown. Is it too late to vote forhim? SharptonorBrown, we're not picky.
