naww... i don't buy it fellas.
the core of the discussion was whether either side would use reeves' name to furthur their political cause, senator edwards undeniably did just that. i would see your point if the senator weren't quoted as saying "When John Kerry is President..." in the same context. when he did, he is clearly implying a distinction between the two candidates: that kerry's policy will stop deaths like reeves' and that the president's will not. exactly the kind of rhetoric being discussed.
