Edwards breaks a promise?
April 27, 2007 11:17 AM
On Wednesday, the campaign manager for former Sen. John Edwards, D-NC, sent an email to supporters preparing them for Thursday night's debate where Edwards would call for President Bush to fire Karl Rove.
"Tomorrow, John Edwards is going on national television to take part in the first presidential debate. And that night, he's going to call on George Bush to fire Karl Rove," wrote David Bonior. "Please add your name" to an Edwards petition (CLICK HERE) "so when John speaks out at tomorrow's debate it's clear that he's speaking for thousands."
One problem -- Edwards did no such thing last night.
Oops.
What's up with that, Edwards people?

This sounds like the beginnings of one of those "urban legends," Jake.

I'm also on the Edwards email list(never took myself off the 2004 distribution) and received no such email - what gives?

I am a supporter of Edwards and on his mailing list and I didn't receive an email saying he was calling on Bush to fire Rove.
