[More Cowbell]

First off, I'd like to say that while there are some people in this region who are very well off, anyone who thinks that there is not a lot of poverty also is kidding themselves. Yes, there are poor areas in every city and county in America, and maybe they did choose our area because of the stereotypes, but that does not mean that the poverty is not still there. Ignoring it does not help anything.

That said, I doubt that Edwards or any of the other presidential candidates truly cares about anybody but themselves. I'm sure the only reason he came on this "tour" was to smile for the camera, shake some hands, and win some votes. Now, run along back to North Carolina.
