  Fun story: Remember when Edwards was running w/Kerry in 2004 and Edwards came to Eugene?  I was close to the stage and a small group of very well dressed people came into the space and right in front of me.  A woman was included in this group.  I vaguely remember they had passes or something to ID them  hanging around their necks.
  
  So I'm right behind this woman and she raises her right arm and I notice this HUGE bracelet.  It was about 3" in width.  It was full of diamonds.  W/in those diamonds was the word 'KERRY'.  They looked like rubies.  I had no reason to suspect they were fake, lol.  I started laughing thinking that dang, that sure is a waste of fine jewelry; who would ever wear something like that afterwards?  Course then we find out Edwards has a woman on the side.  Shoot.  I wonder if that was her?
  
  I don't think I have a firm grasp on just how much $$ is in politics.
