Includes photos and video....some exerpts from redjet's diary:

I am going to apologize ahead of time because this diary is going to be a bit, well a lot, fan-girly. If you want substance, this isn’t it. Keep moving.

I’ve never met Edwards in person before. I’ve supported him since 2004 and have missed a few opportunities to see him in person. Yesterday I was lucky, very lucky. I went to the picket line for the WGA where Edwards came to lend his support.

But for the moment, enough about me.........

I also was able to overhear an interview with Assemblyman Paul Krekorian (D-43rd California) who was asked at the end of the interview; "John Edwards coming out today, photo-op or real?" To which Krekorian replied that Edwards was "for real" and gave a lengthy positive answer about Edwards and everything he has done for Unions and Union workers. Very nice answer indeed.

Three minutes or so of a great supportive go-get ‘em, speech, not a candidate vote-for-me speech, just I’m-here-with-you speech. He talked about the corporate lobbyists and about corporations trouncing on the working people, standing with workers every day as president, other stuff – well I didn’t take notes people. I mean, my God – he was right in front of me! I expected the first time I’d see him was from like 100 feet away not like, well, almost (dammit) in my lap!

Much more :hi:
