R.I.P. Elizabeth Edwards

Elizabeth Edwards was one of my favorite people on the national political scene. She wrote well, as you might expect of someone who had taken graduate classes in English, and I enjoyed reading her autiobiography. She was smart, classy and, at least from my vantage point, seemed very familiar with the "juggle" of keeping up with kids, jobs, and politics. One of the sections of her book that I most enjoyed was her description of the way her older son's friends took over her house. It is a phenomenon I have some experience with myself and seldom hear other people address.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family, especially her children.

Tomorrow, back to Pennsylvania politics.
