By Garance Franke-Ruta NEW YORK -- Elizabeth Edwards, wife of former Democratic presidential candidate and vice presidential nominee John Edwards, predicted that November's contest between Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain would be close. Interviewed by Skype video before an audience at the Personal Democracy Forum 2008 conference in the Time Warner Center here after weather problems prevented her from flying to N.Y. to speak at the annual gathering, Edwards predicted, "We are going to need to fight for every vote. This is going to be a close election." Trusting in "all these things that would seem to say we can just sit back and eat chocolates between now and November" would be a mistake, said Edwards, seated on a floral couch in her North Carolina home for what interviewer and conference organizer Andrew Rasiej called a "live-vlog." Her husband, John Edwards, made a surprise cameo on the screen and ...

The group is officially nonpartisan, but its policy slant clearly falls on the Democratic side of the political fence — and its “headliner,” as Politico.com puts it, is [...] ...

I’d like to throw a hat into Obama’s VP ring: Elizabeth Edwards. She is so right for an administration that is promising fundamental change in the politics of governing. Edwards hears past differences to what is shared. She hears past anger to what is worth defending. She hears past fear to what is worth cherishing. If — as a defining phrase of Obama’s puts it — we are the ones we are waiting for, Elizabeth Edwards models who we need to become if we are to enable change to happen. And is there a better model of the hope Obama stands for? With Elizabeth Edwards, no one can confuse hope with mere wishful thinking or weakness. Edwards faces her mortality with clarity, and seems strengthened by it. I’m sure she hopes that she will survive for many, many years. But she seems to embody a larger type of hope as well: The notion that our future doesn’t have to be like our present. That every moment is an opportunity to move that future closer to us. That we bring that future closer by relentlessly finding what is best in those we encounter. That we can change our world by giving in to our urge to connect with others, our urge to be better people than we are. There are obvious negatives to an Edwards vice-presidency. She is not ready to step into the presidency if, G-d forbid, something should happen to Obama. True. We would have to rely on the machinery of the administration to carry us forward. And, of course, she has untreatable, fatal canc ...

Judging from the last couple days on the site, and the endless stream of diaries about how to properly imagine other people's opinions of cartoons, or how to properly eulogize a political opponent, I think it's more proper, actually, to recognize this editorial opinion from Elizabeth Edwards on the death of Tony Snow. Edwards and Snow are linked by virtue of being diagnosed with recurrences of their cancer within days of one another in 2007, and the news of his death clearly came to her as chilling and sad. In the article, Edwards reveals some universal, human truths, which often get lost in the clatter of political warfare, not limited to this site. I want to excerpt a bit: Last week—when Tony was still alive and I was not so afraid—I rode my bicycle in a small Fourth of July parade at the beach to which we have gone for close to two decades. When I got to the celebration and stepped off the bicycle, an older man approached me. I hope you are doing well, he said, and then he added—oddly, it is more often the case that people do feel obliged to confess the gap between us—"although we don't agree on much of anything." I thanked him for his good wishes and then I added—as I often do—"and I suspect we agree on more than you think." He smiled, I smiled, and that was that. And then Tony died. And I thought more about the things on which we agree and the things on which we disagree. And as with my parade companion, I suspect Tony and I agree ...
