Edwards attacks Cheney for being out of touch with the plight of regular Americans - and uses some humor to do it: "He said people are selling a lot of stuff on eBay. When we count the bake sales and lemonade stands, we'll have a roaring economy," Edwards told a union hall rally. Last week in Cincinnati, Cheney told voters that indicators miss the hundreds of thousands who make money selling on eBay. "That's a source that didn't even exist 10 years ago," the vice president said. "Four hundred thousand people make some money trading on eBay." Since President Bush took office in January 2001, Ohio has suffered economically, with 229,600 jobs lost and an unemployment rate of 5.9 percent, slightly above the national average. The battleground state, which went for George W. Bush in 2000, is being fiercely contested by the Republican and Sen. John Kerry. At stake are 20 electoral votes. Edwards used his appearance in the swing state to criticize the Republicans, praise Kerry and pledge his support for a federal program aimed at helping workers from the government's nuclear facilities. Responding to the GOP criticism that Kerry would be soft on terrorism, Edwards said, "John will actually do the hard work of leading alliances around the world. We'll do what must be done to keep the American people safe, and we're going to restore the image of America we all know and love." Let's hear more like this.
