Connie Wilson: John Edwards Holds A Conversation with Women and Families
Connie Wilson: John Edwards Holds “A Conversation with Women and Families”
Thursday, September 23, 2004, Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds, Davenport, Iowa
By Connie Wilson
First Lady Christie Vilsack introduced a pinch-hitting John Edwards, who filled in for the vocally-challenged John Kerry (impending laryngitis) at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds building in Davenport on Thursday afternoon, September 23, as Edwards hit the ground running hard, challenging the current administration on Iraq and the much-vaunted “war on terror” in front of a standing-room only crowd of over 1,000 partisan supporters. The gloves are finally off!
With Edwards, in addition to Iowa’s First Lady, were four other female supporters of the Kerry/Edwards ticket: Lt. General Claudia J. Kennedy, the nation’s highest-ranking woman officer (now retired); Kristen Breitweiser, a founding member of September 11th Advocates and a founding member of the 9/11 Commission’s ‘Family Steering Committee;’ Gwen Waltz, a teacher from Mankato, Minnesota; and Cammie Pohl, a Democratic candidate for state office.

When Edwards begins speaking, he announces that his topics will be the war in Iraq and the war on terror. I am delighted to hear this….finally! I feel like I am ten years old at one of those old westerns where the cavalry is riding in (Noise of cavalry bugle here) to help the soldiers isolated in the fort, which is being circled by blood-thirsty Indians. (In this case, make that blood-thirsty Republicans.)
To quote Matthew Brzezinski’s new book Fortress America: An Inside Look at the Coming Surveillance State (Bantam Dell Publishing Group), “In the game of smoke and mirrors that is otherwise known as national politics, Americans will go to the polls in November to choose a leader who they think can best protect them from terrorist attack. Other issues will be important in the presidential election–Iraq, the economy, taxes–but none will be as central as which candidate can keep us safe.”
