Elizabeth Edwards: "Republicans Scare Me"
December 15, 2007 7:43 PM

ABC News' Raelyn Johnson reports: Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic hopeful John Edwards, lamented with Iowa caucus goers about her fear of the Republican Party.

"Republicans should scare us in a lot of ways," Edwards said as she was introducing her husband at a town hall in Dubuque, Iowa.

Speaking about Republican candidate Mike Huckabee, who recently surged ahead in Iowa polls, Elizabeth noted, "He seems like a nice charming guy," before saying that Huckabee, "doesn’t believe in evolution and has some nutty views about what it is we should do about ending violence in our inner city — we should make sure all of our young people are armed. Republicans scare me."

She went on to warn about the larger party, saying, "Karl Rove may not be working in the White House anymore but you can pretty much be sure he’s going back in the presidential race... I believe he’s going to be back and he’s going be doing that same kind of Rovian politics that we’ve seen before — the kind of attacks that we saw against Sen. McCain in South Carolina we can expect to see against our nominee, 'swift boating,' all of that kind of stuff again."

John Edwards has been spending the last week campaigning in Iowa. Elizabeth joined him recently and has been making her presence felt by speaking at various moments throughout town hall meetings. Actor and supporter Kevin Bacon joined Edwards on Saturday, surprising audiences with a performance from the Bacon Brothers Band, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that this bus tour is being headlined by Elizabeth.

Pleading her husband’s case, she told caucus goers that Edwards could survive the Republican attack machine: "We have to have a candidate who stands up, can take the punches and give it back to them."

Oh my, Republicans scare her?

Hilary scares the hell out of me.

I think those $400 dollar haircuts her hubby gets would scare me more!

i think she is a bit confused, rudi, mccain & gomer hickleberry may be running as repubs but they share the views of the dems... so she is right the damn_o_rates scare me also.

Huckabee, "doesn’t believe in evolution and has some nutty views about what it is we should do about ending violence in our inner city — we should make sure all of our young people are armed

We need to find the reference to Huckabee saying all our young people should be armed--that statement is insane and made by a "self-aclaimmed minister".

Dear Elizabeth Edwards,

I'm not a Republican and I bet I scare the hell out of you too.

BOO!

"Republicans should scare us in a lot of ways," Edwards said as she was
chowing down at "Old Country Buffet".

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I call what she said fear mongering myself.

But you know, she's right about Karl Rove - he may be pulling strings from behind the curtain instead of the WH - but he's still twisting arms.

HEY ELIZABETH......

DEMOCRATS SCARE THE HELL OUT OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!! DEMOCRAT IS JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR LIBERAL, AND LIBERALS ARE PROVING THEY CAN'T BE TRUSTED!

Edwards isn't as smart as Obama. When Obama's wife started putting her foot in his mouth she got sent home.
