I will be going to see John Edwards at one of the events Monday in Mississippi and I'll be a credentialed blogger.
What this means is that I get to ask him a couple of questions like a member of the traditional (papers, TV) media.
Help me think of a couple good questions to ask. I might just ask one.
Keep in mind though that I will not ask a question that is framed as a personal attack or is made with the intent to embarass, y'all can do better than that.
Dear Senator Edwards:
ReplyDeleteAre you concerned that part of your base of support may be attributed, in part, to reluctance on the part of some Democratic voters to nominate a candidate who is not a white male? What are you doing to help make sure this isn't a factor?
Cheers,
TH
Good to see a comment from you Tom, welcome!
ReplyDeleteI put up a post-it on my wall during the fall semester at USM that posed the question Kerry or Edwards; who will be the token white man?
I think in the Democratic primary his race may do him more harm than good with people who want the party's leaders to reflect its diversity.
(full disclosure: I've given Obama money, but would be happy with Richardson, Obama, Edwards, Dodd, or Clinton in my order of preference)
"Would you support begging bloggers that will give you good press because you are a Democrat?"
ReplyDelete"Could you spot me a C-note?"
Sorry...too tempting.
