Er, Dave, you&#8217;ve been here several times at various bloggercons.  And the bloggercons were here because this is one of the Big Centers of blogging in the country.  Why should John Edwards start doing something that <a href="http://wordmunger.com/" target="_blank" title="" />is</a> <a href="http://www.yesh.com/blog/" target="_blank" title="" />already</a> <a href="http://edcone.typepad.com/wordup/" target="_blank" title="" />done</a> <a href="http://ncblogs.com/" target="_blank" title="" />by</a> <a href="http://www.greensboro101.com/" target="_blank" title="" />people</a> <a href="http://www.bluenc.com/" target="_blank" title="" />who</a> <a href="http://www.indyweekblogs.com/dent/" target="_blank" title="" />know</a> <a href="http://blogtogether.org/" target="_blank" title="" />what</a> <a href="http://ibiblio.org/pjones/wordpress" target="_blank" title="" />to</a> <a href="http://mistersugar.com/" target="_blank" title="" />do</a> <a href="http://www.lotusmedia.org/" target="_blank" title="" />and</a> <a href="http://www.audioactivism.org/" target="_blank" title="" />how</a> <a href="http://www.chapelhillwireless.org/" target="_blank" title="" />to</a> <a href="http://stangoff.com/" target="_blank" title="" />go</a> <a href="http://greenespace.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="" />about</a> <a href="http://orangepolitics.org/" target="_blank" title="" />it</a> <a href="http://blog.willraymond.org/" target="_blank" title="" />and</a> <a href="http://thetarheeltavern.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="" />are</a> <a href="http://www.pamspaulding.com/weblog/" target="_blank" title="" />successful</a> <a href="http://blogads.com/weblog" target="_blank" title="" />at</a> <a href="http://www.isthatlegal.org/" target="_blank" title="" />it</a> <a href="http://stinging-nettle.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="" />as</a> <a href="http://anonymoses.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="" />humanely</a> <a href="http://sue.polinsky.com/" target="_blank" title="" />possible</a>?<br />
John Edwards is using the new communications technologies better than any politician &#8211; he is light years ahead of the competition.  He sits in the hotebed of blogging.  Why should he teach blogging?  Let him do politics and we&#8217;ll make sure that it spreads through the wires and wireless to online North Carolinians and others.<br />
