EDWARDS: Lobster Rolls Are Yummy

Alison Rose Levy shares with Huffington Post readers how she picked actor Tony Shalhoub and his wife Brooke Adams on the side of the road on her way to a John Edwards fundraiser featuring mini-lobster rolls. Levy blogs: "At sunset, the Edwardses arrived and mounted a small platform to address the Vineyard crowd: serious professionals, lifelong liberals, and unashamed patriots. ... At this over-sized party, everyone knew that thousands would gather for Hillary the next night. Encountering this valiant couple, running hard while facing her life-threatening illness, filled the dusk with a passion tinged by poignancy."

Also in Edwards blogging, MyDD's Nate Willems captured Edwards biggest Livestrong Forum applause line: "if we give insurance and drug companies a seat at the table, they'll eat up all the food." At TAPPED, Ezra Klein appreciates Edwards current concern for the number of medical bankruptcies bur also notes that Edwards voted against a Paul Wellstone amendment to the '01 bankruptcy bill that would have created a medical expenses exemption for some debtors. Klein comments: "It's a hard vote to explain. But I'd still like to hear what the Edwards camp has to say."
