I had the unique opportunity to host a reception and fundraiser this past Monday for the next First Lady of the United States -- Elizabeth Edwards. I have been bugging the campaign for a while to bring John or Elizabeth to Grand Rapids, Michigan and learned about a month ago that Elizabeth wanted to come.

No hobnobing and celebrity basking, John wants you to roll up your sleaves, pick up a hammer (FYI he has the endorsement of the Carpenters Union), and get to work.

From an email from Campaign Manager (and Michigander) David Bonior I just got a few minutes ago:

John is going to help rebuild New Orleans—and he wants you to join him.

Soon, John will be taking a break from the campaign trail to work in an area of New Orleans devastated by Hurricane Katrina. He'll need some help—so we're going to send five supporters like you with him.

We are going to select five supporters to join John in New Orleans. And if you make a contribution by the end of the third quarter on Sunday, September 30, one of them could be you!

This is a total document dump from the JRE08 Blog, but it's worth it for folks to know about it.

I usually read the dead tree version of the New York Times, since, for all its many flaws, it is still probably the best MSM daily in America.
I really felt that the three stories on page A11 captured where we are at in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary.

From an email from campaign manager David Bonior:

WE DID IT!

At 8:51 p.m. a $10 dollar contribution from Janet, of Clayton, Indiana put us over the $9 million dollar mark for the second quarter.

And here's something else incredible: It turns out Janet was the 95,212th person to contribute to the campaign—so we only need 4,788 new donors to hit 100,000 total contributors before the midnight filing deadline!

Once again Edwards -- he of the "McCain Doctrine of Escalation" (tm) -- adeptly ties leading Republican 2008 candidates to the sinking anchor that is George Bush (aka Mr. 28%). So, Rudy, remember how Edwards beat the hell out of McCain and his polls numbers collapsed, it's your turn now for a taste of Johnny's knuckle sandwich.

From: Beth Fouhy, Edwards Works Shift at Nursing Home, Associated Press Writer

Democrat John Edwards got a taste of low-wage life Wednesday, rising before dawn to help to dress, shave and deliver breakfast to elderly residents of a nursing home outside New York City.

His visit was part of the "Work [sic] a Day in My Shoes" program sponsored by the influential Service Employees International Union, where presidential candidates spend time with health care workers to understand the challenges of their jobs. Edwards was paired with certified nursing assistant Elaine Ellis, an 18-year employee of the Sarah Neuman Nursing Home who escorted him on her early morning rounds.

See the Walk A Day In My Shoes website for videos, photos, and more stories from Edwars' day. The project is sponsored by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).

Watch coverage tomorrow morning on Good Morning America.
