Wife of Democratic Presidential Hopeful Wishes He Was Black or a Woman

Presidential candidate John Edward’s wife and advisor Elizabeth Edwards on media coverage:
The Web can be liberating. “It’s about bypassing the sieve of the mainstream media,” says Elizabeth Edwards, wife and confidant of Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards. “The idea that you have people standing between you and the voter is diminished, and the capacity to speak directly empowers candidates to trust their own voices.” With Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama hogging media coverage, campaigns can push their messages without paying for ads. “In some ways, it’s the way we have to go,” Edwards says. “We can’t make John black, we can’t make him a woman. Those things get you a lot of press, worth a certain amount of fundraising dollars. Now it’s nice to get on the news, but not the be all and end all.”
Well, Elizabeth need not to worry, Russell Simmons is not fan of Barack Obama and is yoga buddies with her hubby. Click here to read on why Blood Diamond Russ thinks Barack Obama is a “mouse” and how John Edwards inspires him.
