"BUSH SUPORTERS GREET EDWARDS
(02/06/04) A small group of supporters of President Bush were among the hundreds of Virginia Tech students who turned out Friday morning to see U.S. Sen. John Edwards during a campus visit.
The students held up Bush-Cheney signs behind Edwards as he entered the room with television cameras rolling.
When Edwards started speaking, he asked them to hold them up again.
"Hold those signs up, if you don't mind," Edwards said.
The students eagerly did.
"That's who's leaving the White House," Edwards shot back, drawing huge cheers from the crowd.
