3. heard on NPR today (I think) that individuals

he filed a lawsuit against a car rental company for an accident his daughter was in. His insurance would have covered the damage, but he took it to court, and it was thrown out.

10. Edwards completely screwed the pooch
He said nothing about how lawsuits are going down, award amounts are going down and premiums are still going up. He also said nothing about how investment losses are the primary cause of premium increase.

12. One stat out of three?
He said nothing about the correlation between investment losses and premium increases. That to me is the big issue.

13. he only has 30 seconds
I'd have mentioned it, but I'm not experienced at short interval debate.

It was his question. I would have easily gotten it out, and still had time to mention all the frivolous lawsuits Cheney filed as CEO of Halliburton.
