John Edwards for President Meetings Still Going Strong


Despite rescinding his presidential candidacy months ago, one John Edwards for President group in Des Moines, Iowa remains strong, meeting weekly in Frank’s local bar and grill.

Group organizer Sean Garst says support for Edwards is stronger than ever, with over 60 weekly attendees crowding the bar Thursday nights to get a taste of the action, or free unlimited buffalo wings for all groups over 20.

“We really think he can make a comeback just like a Soap Opera character that gets killed off the show,” Garst said, folding up a wad of $20 bills and tucking them neatly in his back pocket.

With flyers and posters advocating the democrat and his vision for America, Garst believes his group is just the support Edwards needs.

“At the last meeting we discussed the similarities between Radiohead and Taking Back Sunday, two alternative rock groups with equal sound quality,” said support group frequenter Ramey Charles.

On the topic of John Edwards, Ramey said, “Who’s he?”
