First of all, I am very sorry I have not written in over a week. My literary output is directly linked to daddy's work schedule and he just finished a long string of shifts in the ER. We'll try to catch up quickly this week and make up for the dearth!
Today, Gran took me to meet fellow breast cancer patient Elizabeth Edwards in downtown Iowa City. The great thing about living in Iowa is everyone pays attention to us once every 4 years. This has been one of the busiest campaign years ever in Iowa, so if we don't meet all the candidates personally, we can only blame ourselves!
Mrs. Edwards was speaking at the Hotel Vetro, so Gran took me and the Sophiemobile to see if might catch a glimpse. As we were waiting by the door, Mrs Edwards showed up and greeted me personally! She played with me for a almost a minute, so Gran and I stuck around and listened to the political forum for over 90 minutes. It was great! I am very impressed with that lady and I'll think I may join mommy and caucus for Edwards in January. We won't be able to swing daddy away from Obama!

Sophie it is so good to hear from you- Ada missed your blog. Elizabeth Edwards is a woman that I admire- she has the emotional and intellectual strength that few people will ever achieve. I wish that she was running for president. But alas she is not. I am sure that she was thrilled to see such a beautiful child such as yourself (a future Sec General of the United nations).
Betty Friedan wrote,"There is only one way for women to reach full human potential - by participating in the mainstream of society, by exercising their own voice in all decisions shaping that society." Today you took your first step(with Gran) toward full participation in the mainstream of society. There will be many elections and political activities and your voice will be heard.
Like your dad Ada is on the Obama express.
BARACK THE VOTE!!!!
