I could listen to him all day

Former Senator John Edwards is being interviewed on ABC right now. Love the blue eyes, love the hair, love the voice. Oh, I completely approve of everything he is saying about Iraq, Katrina, immigration, etc. But it's incidental to the blue eyes, shiny hair and moonlight-and-magnolias voice.

I could not have been more passionately for Senator Kerry. His career, his ideology, his dedication to public service inspired me. I worked hard for him, raised as much money as I could for him, and still cannot believe he didn't win. He was the right man for this time, and it breaks my heart to think of what we rejected when we chose Bush.

But I never found myself resting my chin on the heel of my hand, gazing upon Senator John Kerry.

Oh God, he's mentioning his lovely wife Elizabeth. I love how he loves her. And look, there's his late son's Outward Bound pin, right there on his lapel. I have such a crush on John Edwards.

I don't know how I feel about the possibility of a President I'm hot for. It seems wrong somehow. Like being attracted to your minister. Or your uncle. Ick.

On the other hand, those eyes, that hair, that voice ...
