I think he is a phoney.
He isn't even from North Carolina
http://www.johnedward.net/about_John_Edward.htm
Born and raised on Long Island, NY, John exhibited psychic abilities
from an extremely early age, and was deemed "special" by many in his family.
The fact that he would uncannily know family history and events that took
place prior to his birth solidified that fact. Because no fuss was made over
these early experiences, he maintained as normal a childhood as possible.
Since psychic phenomena was so accepted by his family, it was easy for his
abilities to flourish. John graduated college with a degree in Public
Administration and Health Care Administration. He maintained a management
position in a leading health care facility in the Northeast, and always
continued his research, lecturing, teaching, readings, and writing in the
field of parapsychology. Due to the large demand for his time and ability,
John now devotes his time to pursuing his psychic work full time.
John resides in Long Island, New York, with his wife Sandra their one
year old son Justin
and their two Bichon Frises, Jolie and Roxie.
I don't think politicians should use their unworldly powers for partisan
purposes.

Channeling the Unborn
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/01/31/politics/campaign/31EDWA.html?ex=1089345600&en=b22462c38f76202c&ei=5070&pagewanted=all&position
In January the New York Times described this great moment in personal-injury
law:
*** QUOTE ***
In 1985, a 31-year-old North Carolina lawyer named John Edwards stood before
a jury and channeled the words of an unborn baby girl.
Referring to an hour-by-hour record of a fetal heartbeat monitor, Mr.
Edwards told the jury: "She said at 3, 'I'm fine.' She said at 4, 'I'm
having a little trouble, but I'm doing O.K.' Five, she said, 'I'm having
problems.' At 5:30, she said, 'I need out.' "

Do you mean the suggestions for him to be the VP on the Democratic ticket? Or
that he didn't challenge Bush for the nomination? Actually, the answer to
either is 'no'. I'm too bitterly disappointed in the entire election this year
overall to separate out any factors.
But I'm *very* excited about the number of Democrats who spoke in favor of
McCain being John Kerry's VP. Their support is all on tape and will play a very
nice role in my 2008 campaign fantasies. If McCain's health remains good, he'll
be in the thick of it then -- and I will, too. And, in my fantasy, I'm hoping
he'll be running against Hillary. That will be an interesting debate.
But, this year, I'll be focussing on the state and city elections. I'm in a
"none of the above" mood, presidentially speaking.

Ah yes. I suppose it's do-able when you are opposing a President who
stepped into the office rather than being elected.

It's been done. Hillary Clinton channeled Eleanor Roosevelt.

from an extremely early age, and was deemed "special" by many in his family.
The fact that he would uncannily know family history and events that took
place prior to his birth solidified that fact. Because no fuss was made over
these early experiences, he maintained as normal a childhood as possible.
Since psychic phenomena was so accepted by his family, it was easy for his
abilities to flourish. John graduated college with a degree in Public
Administration and Health Care Administration. He maintained a management
position in a leading health care facility in the Northeast, and always
continued his research, lecturing, teaching, readings, and writing in the
field of parapsychology. Due to the large demand for his time and ability,
John now devotes his time to pursuing his psychic work full time.
John resides in Long Island, New York, with his wife Sandra their one
year old son Justin
and their two Bichon Frises, Jolie and Roxie.
I don't think politicians should use their unworldly powers for partisan
purposes.
Poor John probably thought Kerry was in the afterworld.

Me too!
Kerry has gotten two thing right in two days... I'm at a bit of a loss for
words.
I've been waiting a long time to hear a polititcian say something like
this:
"I don't like abortion. I believe life does begin at conception. But I
can't take my Catholic belief, article of faith, and legislate it on a
Protestant or a Jew or an atheist ... We have separation of church and
state in the United States of America."

Assuming sarcasm:
Yea... protecting the constitution, wouldn't want a president to do that.
Taking pleasure in attacking a presidential candidate even when he's right
greatly reduces the effectiveness of the arguments you make when you
actually have a valid point (which you occasionally do).
That's a good way to make your opinion worth nothing.

Assuming sarcasm:
Not really. Prostitution is, after all, specifically mentioned and shunned
in the bible. Abortion is unbiblical only by interpreting various ideas
such as a general dislike of murder and the idea that if God can know
humans while they are still in the womb, then they must in fact be human.
Yea... protecting the constitution, wouldn't want a president to do that.
I have never found anything in the Constitution stating a right to
abortion. There are, however, many things in that document protecting life
and limb.
Taking pleasure in attacking a presidential candidate even when he's right
greatly reduces the effectiveness of the arguments you make when you
actually have a valid point (which you occasionally do).
But he isn't right. He's hypocritical unless he wants to do away with all
biblically based laws. Not to mention taking heed of what the New
Testament has to say about tax collectors.
That's a good way to make your opinion worth nothing.
Not assuming sarcasm:

Actually yes, legalizing *prostitution* would be in keeping with the
Constitution.

Abortion was hardly the point (and you know it) of posting the quote. The
point was that he was putting the constitution ahead of his religion (or
at least he claims he will).

For many aspects of common law, that would be a disaster since, like it or

Being rooted in the bible I'm fine with. Many of the same reasonable ideas
reoccur across most religious texts since the beginning of recorded
history. When one group forces it's religious beliefs on to another you
start to have serious problems.

When life begins would fall into the same category as any other biblically
rooted law. The same belief is also supported by the big three religions.
So why is a law against abortion considered to be forcing religious beliefs
when a law essentially stating "Thou shalt not steal" isn't?

Because "It should be illegal because my church says it should" isn't a
valid argument when there is separation between church and state.
If "they" would stop using that argument and start using one that isn't
religious "they" might get somewhere with it.
You can't simply state that something is immoral. Morality is subjective.
