I envy the people of Iowa, and the people of New Hampshire. But, don't sit around feeling bad, tune in to the Mashup and keep track of all the latest happenings on the John Edwards Trip.
Now, one last thing. Help me, help Senator Edwards. Help me raise the $2300 that I would like to donate, but can't. Okay, I could, but then my wife would probably be forced to make sure I had an "accident" for the insurance money. My Pizza for Progressives page has slipped in the ActBlue list of people raising money for John Edwards. I'm asking you to make a small donation and help get me back into the game. Skip the mocha and give $5. Rent a movie tonight instead of going out and give $20. Be a big time spender and give $50 to the man who will be our next President.
