Need link to article that describes Edwards' house. I've seen a million posts about it, but no link

[patricia92243]

links to an article that explains what it is all about. I have looked in the google and yahoo news and can't find it.

How big is it, is it energy efficient, where is it, etc. I need a link, please.

1. I haven't seen the original... the shit hit the fan on Friday I guess...

and after a long long horrendous day at work, upon seeing page after page of combative posts, I just tuned out.

Generally speaking, I've found when there is that much uproar about something, it generally means the RW has instigated something as bait, that (sadly) we have willingly swallowed....:shrug:

2. I think this is a picture of it:

Mad King Ludwig would be proud.

3. Link to original article

I believe this is it:

http://www.carolinajournal.com/

There has been some attempt here at DU to claim Drudge as the source, but it appears from the note at the top of Carolina Journal that's not the case.

4. Thanks for the link. That is a LOT of house. n/t

5. The residence itself is about 9000 SF.

I would expect that of a self-made multi-millionaire with a family and a political career with entertainment space needs.

6. Are you going to call it a "ranch house" next?

Honestly, this is ridiculous. The residence is 28,200 square feet, comprised of roofed over living quarters, walkways and recreation building containing "a basketball court, a squash court, two stages, a bedroom, kitchen, bathrooms, swimming pool, a four-story tower, and a room designated 'John's Lounge.'"

I expect a multimillionaire might live in such a house, too, but let's not be disingenuous about it.

8. Join the list of Dem-haters I have put on ignore.

Attacking one of our own in this way is completely unacceptable. That's why there is a rule against it.

Tell people why the candidate you support it so great. Don't attack good people.

11. I've been a loyal Democrat for 40 years

Don't dare call me a Dem-hater. Of course, you can't see this but who cares? Not I.

7. Maybe room for the Secret Service if he is Prez???

13. Yeah it's nothing outlandish for a person with his level of money

I agree with you

Kerry has a lot of money and big houses too. SO what? He's a good Democrat and so is Edwards

9. Trolling?

I thought everyone agreed that this house stuff was trolling? I'm going to hit the button on this thread.

[Adelante]

10. Hit the button

Calling people trolls is against the rules. The OP simply asked a question and I simply answered it.

Welcome to DU :hi:

[Dracos]

12. Yes this is bull but it tells me that somebody is worried and getting scared

[barb162]

14. I t doesn't tell me anything

?????

It's one of many threads on the same subject

[Adelante]

15. Welcome to DU to you, too, Dracos

So many new DUers :hi:
