The front pages of four N.C. newspapers make this morning’s Washington Journal: the Asheville Citizen-Times, the Charlotte Observer, the News & Observer and the Winston-Salem Journal.
Hotline contributing editor John Mercurio also discussed John and Elizabeth Edwards’ People interview, this passgae was his favorite part:
What doesn’t he like about Clinton? “Um, still a lot of the old politics,” John Edwards said.
As for Obama, he says: “Sometimes I want to see more substance under the rhetoric.”
But he cited two things he likes about the charismatic young senator from Illinois: “One is, I think he really does want to bring about serious change and a different way of doing things. And secondly, I think it’s a great symbolic thing to have an African-American who could be president.”
At that, Mrs. Edwards rolled her eyes and, gripping the arms of her kitchen chair with some exaggeration, seemed about to lunge from her seat. “What about the great symbolic thing about a woman …”
“It’s important. It’s important,” her husband said. “I know it.”
