Hey squishy, that was a good call on spotting Kerry's Livestrong yellow band. Not mentioning it shows a certain amount of class - as does John Edwards not bringing in the fact that he lost a son to Leukemia. Some things have no place in campaigns, they are better left to family and friends.
See, I can give Edwards his props - he just has to earn them.
Note: Edward's son died in a car accident in 1998, not Leukemia. Perhaps one of his son's had Leukemia though - I might be wrong. Nonetheless, the fact that he hasn't used the loss of a child to garner sympathy in his political career is to be admired. I have not even heard of him using it on the Senate floor.
