31. I think it went back to the 2004 election?
But I'm getting old and so many good ones have died
and I don't remember..

Maybe someone can check when she came on board.

I remember I couple of threads where she responded to me
in a long reply.

She made me support Edwards
The fool I was.

17. "ElizabethEdwards"
This was during the '04 primaries. Unfortunately, she stopped posting here when some DUers expressed ill will toward some right-wing woman who had breast cancer.

She was a good and generous friend to those who care about social justice and a class act to the end.

23. Wow. I'm floored.
She was great. She made a difference. Those poor kids of hers have already gone through the trauma of their folks' very public split--and now this on top at a hundred times worse... I really hope John has his shit together for them.

She was very gracious to me the two times we met. Her oldest daughter Cate was very nice and her brother, a one time Duer by the way, was very open and wonderful to talk to.

65. Mine does, too. I really hope she was able to complete
the legal paperwork to have her oldest daughter made their legal guardian upon her death, as she didn't want that bitch Rielle to have anything to do with raiaing them. Considering that that vulture bitch was actually planning her and John's wedding for "once Elizabeth finally dies", I can't say I blame her at all. I wouldn't want that vulture anywhere near those precious children.

You fought so hard, and touched so many during your too brief life. You are a shining example for all of us of how to live with grace during impossible adversity.

Rest well, and may your family and friends find peace.
