Excerpt from John Edwards' profile in the Boston Globe:
Senator Bob Kerrey - who was recruiting candidates for the Senate in 1998 - and Washington pollster Harrison Hickman saw Edwards as a new face, a potential winner. Hickman's only concern, he told Edwards, was that Faircloth might run an "unkind'' campaign that could upset his family."And John looked at me and said, 'If you've ever had to get up on a medical examiner's table and hug your son goodbye, you know that there's nothing worse that can happen to you,'" Hickman recalls.
For some reason that paragraph reached out and grabbed me. Then George Bush's new limerick quoted below came to mind. Talk about two different worlds.
