I wish Elizabeth Edwards was running for President.

I first read about this in a post by my friend Mel at Blog for Democracy noting that Elizabeth Edwards expressed similar sentiments as I did in an earlier post today.

The following is from the Des Moines Register:

MoveOn.org should not have labeled Gen. David Petraeus "General Betray Us" in a controversial newspaper ad, Elizabeth Edwards said in Des Moines on Friday.

"Someone who's spent their life in the military doesn't deserve 'General Betray Us,'" said Edwards, wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards.

Elizabeth Edwards noted that her father was a career naval officer, and she said she respects military service.
