KERRY-EDWARDS: "THE KIND OF WAVE THAT BRINGS A SHIP TO SHORE"

Addressing the crowd in West Virginia—while standing on tiptoes so she can reach the microphone—she speaks with quiet, articulate passion, and quotes from a favorite poem by Seamus Heaney: "History says, Don't hope on this side of the grave. But then once in a lifetime, the longed for tidal wave of justice can rise up, and hope and history rhyme.'' Edwards and Kerry can be that wave, she promises, "the kind of wave that brings a ship to shore.''

A lovely profile of Elizabeth Edwards.
