Yesterday (9/9/06), John Edwards came to S.F. to talk about the California governor’s race in support of Phil Angelides. Several other elected officials came to the event as well. Pictured in this photo from Left to Right is Betty Yee, State Board of Equalization, Kamala Harris, S.F. D.A., Phil, John Edwards, John Garamendi, State Insurance Commissioner and Lt. Gov. candidate, and Sophie Maxwell, S.F. Supervisor. More pictures are in this Flikr photo set. Video is on the flip.
I split the Edwards clips into 3 parts in order to upload to YouTube. The speech was a passionate discourse on America and it’s role in the world. Edwards is an excellent orator, and his concern over Ameican authority in the world came through well. His remarks on poverty in America and throughout the world were especially powerful. Phil wrapped up with a thank you to Edwards in the final video. He also continued on making his case to be the next governor, but I was running low on battery and recording space. Hopefully the Angelides people will have a full video soon on the Anglides blog.
