Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards made a brief stop at the airport. (AP} girly man bravery

This was story was posted a few days ago, and looks like it's probably a scam....

All you seem to have is the author's hint of a suspicion that the two are the same. Do you really believe they are?

Didn't the Democratic Underground "break" this story a while back? So far all we see is the post that the guy's supposedly done it two times before.

Quoting some news article making an allegation is well..., like, a Cannes festival anti-American "documentary".

I realize that, which is why I said "LOOKS like a scam" to me......it just sounds a bit fishy. As for who broke the story, I did see a reference to a democratic underground at the bottom of the article, but am not familiar with this site myself. I just read this article while visiting TruthOut.....

Well I will say that by looking at the two photos, the two young men do bear a striking resemblence to one another.

Also, this guy seems to have a habit of having this stuff happen to him, so it goes towards his credibility. He could just be a fame hound looking for his 15 minutes, even at the exepense of his daughter.

That's what I've been reading about the guy. He's done that in the past. Didn't they say he did that in the 2000 election too? I feel bad for the little girl unless she's also apart of it (who knows?). XOXO.

I thought so. It was either the 2000 Presidential election, or it was for a Senate seat or something, but I am pretty sure that he has had this same problem at least one or two other times.

He apparently also pulled the same sort of stunt (minus the toddler!) at a rally during the 1996 election......

Typical democrats beating or hurting women, like Gary Condit, Bill Clinton, all the Kennedys and on and on.

I guess he didn't have his toddler then? Heh heh and now he can sadly use her for sympathy to make Kerry and all his supporters look bad. XOXO.
