South Carolina Republicans were so eager to bash Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards. They issued a statement critical of the former North Carolina senator a week before he returns to the state.

Chairman Katon Dawson said in the statement Monday Edwards' chances in South Carolina are grim because of the state's recent election of conservative candidates.

GOP officials say the release should have been sent out to coincide with Edwards' appearance at a private fundraiser - an event actually scheduled for March 19th.

Edwards' campaign says he was in Atlanta Monday and planned to spend the night in New York.

4. That John Edwards is not seeking the esteem and approval of Republicans in

South Carolina is indication of a sound mind.

Go, Johnny, go.

5. Of course he does. He's the only one they are remotely concerne about. The swiftboating

that they do during the general, they are doing to Edwards during the primaries, for a reason. Every week, it's something else that they are going after Edwards about, things to try and chip away at his "character."
