Kudos to NewsChannel 9 backpack journalist & web master Richard Simms, who shot the footage and uploaded it to NewsChannel 9’s main website from the event.

Tonight on NewsChannel 9 at 5:30, NewsChannel9’s Kim Fields reports extensively on Edwards’ visit. You’ll also hear Ted Kennedy endorse Obama, get a rundown of where things stand in Florida, and hear how many people in Hamilton County have already voted early! I hope you’ll tune in!

OTHER AFTERNOON CAMPAIGN NEWS:

The group Tennessee Right to Life endorses Mike Huckabee for President: “Our members recognize Mike Huckabee as ‘one of us’ and that enthusiasm is driven by his demonstrated record of leadership and sacrifice toward the shared cause of protecting life.”

Author Toni Morrison, who famously first called Bill Clinton “the first black president,” has endorsed Barack Obama. For those keeping score, the Kennedys (Caroline & Ted), Oprah, and now Morrison are in the Obama camp. Quite a lot of buzz in the newsroom this morning about the eloquence of Caroline’s New York Times endorsement. But the Wall Street Journal breaks down poll numbers in the bigger super Tuesday states that show Hillary Clinton still has the advantage.
Tune in to Vote08 tomorrow for a preview of the Florida primary!
