One class act speaks about another:
From the John Edwards web site:
At this point Edwards is conspicuously appealing to the Gephardt base and doing a nice job of it. His emphasis on his working class origins may help him gain that base more readily than Kerry, Dean or Clark could . . .
Speaking for less than 10 minutes, his voice hoarse, Edwards thanked his rivals and had especially warm words for Gephardt, 'a man I have so much personal respect and affection for, a man who stood up and fought for working people every single day of his life. He deserves to be lifted up by us tonight. We should be proud of what [he's] done.'
From the John Edwards web site:
For every American who works the late shift or the early shift, for every American who builds our cars or fixes our roads, for every American who takes care of the sick and educates our young people, Dick Gephardt has been your champion. He's been your champion in the House, throughout this campaign, and he always will be.
Dick Gephardt is a gift. He's a gift to every Democrat, every American, and everyone running to take back the White House in 2004. I am proud to call him my friend, and hope that he continues to lend his voice and ideas in this campaign.
