Edwards Courts Voting Bloc on Daytime TV
NEW YORK - Sen. John Edwards (news - web sites) turned up the charm and raised his smile to high beam Thursday as he chatted on daytime television talk shows popular among women, a voting bloc the Democrats need to win over by Election Day.
......
On "Live With Regis and Kelly," host Kelly Ripa suggested actor Tom Cruise (news) play Edwards if a movie were made of the 2004 campaign. Edwards then cast Cheney in a scene from "A Few Good Men," the 1992 courtroom drama in which Cruise's Navy lawyer confronts old-guard Marine Jack Nicholson.

"Can't you see it now?" Edwards cracked. "Cheney saying, 'You need me on that wall! You need me on that wall!' And me saying, "You can't handle the truth!"

.......
"Afterwards, Jack, my 4-year-old Jack, came on the stage, and I was talking to him and we hadn't quite left the stage yet. He said, 'Which one's Cheney?'" Edwards recounted, lowering his voice into almost a growl as he related Jack's question.
.......
And, Edwards said, he weighed during the debate whether to correct Cheney's comment that the two had never met before. They had meet at least three times since 2001. But Edwards said he thought it was more important to talk about issues than it was "to call him on it."

1. Dont laugh, but my neighbor watched both Dr, Phil shows
and made her voting decision based on their respective performances. John Kerry came off as the much better father. Whatever works!

2. This is a great idea
Edwards has a lot of charisma and appeal. He should be working to convince every voter bloc.

Keep it up!
