John Edwards in Reno

I want to thank Senator John Edwards for making Reno one of his first campaign stops after announcing his bid to run for President. Maybe on his next stop he can swing through Fernley and enjoy some of my hot wings and meet some of my friends and family.

Wouldn't it be nice to see a Edwards/Obama or Obama/Edwards ticket in 2008?

From the RGJ:

Responding to questions, Edwards said:

- He would not sacrifice priorities such as universal health care, fighting poverty and reducing the country's reliance on foreign oil for eliminating the national deficit.

- He supports allowing illegal immigrants "to earn their way to citizenship" after paying a fine and learning English.

- Same-sex couples in civil unions should enjoy the same rights as heterosexual couples.

- He leans against implementing a gasoline tax as a way to curb reliance on foreign oil because it is a regressive tax that would burden the poor and middle class.
