John Edwards speaks at Rainbow/Push convention; Kerry, Clinton cancel

The annual Rainbow/Push convention continues to make news--maybe not the way Jesse Jackson and his followers had hoped for, but make news it did. This post from Sunday explains the latest goofiness from Howard Dean, from Day Two of the Rainbow/Push convention.

Bill Clinton and John Kerry were supposed to speak today, but neither showed up--Clinton claiming an emergency, and Kerry said he had a scheduling conflict.

As for Clinton's absence, according the ABC 7 Chicago's Hosea Sanders, that "made for some very, very disappointed people."

John Edwards did show up, and the multi-millionaire trial lawyer spoke on poverty issues.

So three big names were invited to speak at the Rainbow/Push convention, only one showed up.
