Household Name…

"Please remember my name. Please please please please
please…"

Campaigning for the office of President of the United States of America is tough work. It’s even tougher when people don’t know your name…
From the Boston Globe:

In Marks, Miss., where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Poor People’s March began in 1968, Mayor Aubrey Collums yesterday evening called him “Senator Kennedy” when presenting him a key to City Hall. Edwards made no mention of the mistake, graciously accepting the key at a barbecue with more than 100 Marks residents. In a speech to the crowd, Edwards said it was an honor to walk in the shoes of King and bring attention to the plight of the poor.

…

Two stops later in Memphis, a 38-year-old single mother speaking about the good works of a local faith-based group called him “Senator Obama.” She quickly realized her mistake looking out at the audience, and instead thanked “Senator Edwards” for his attention to poverty. He took it all in stride, giving her a hug on the way out.

Kennedy? Maybe I can see that one because he’s trying to channel RFK with his crusade on poverty. But…Obama??
He was only the VP candidate on the ticket four years ago. Why would anyone know who he is? HA!
I’m thinking his people are going to start putting up a lot more signs at events.
