JOHN EDWARDS GUM-CHEWING ON NATIONAL-TV IGNITES COMMENT
A C-SPAN camera zoomed in on Sen. John Edwards Tuesday night during a dinner marking the 30th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe vs. Wade decision -- as he was popping and chewing gum.
The presidential contender attended the event in Washington, DC with fellow democratic hopefuls Kerry, Dean, Gephardt, Leiberman and Sharpton.
The camera zoomed in Edwards causally chewing gum as rivals made their pitch.
"I couldn't believe John Edwards is running for President chewing gum on the stage on CSPAN!" one top TV producer e-mailed the DRUDGE REPORT.
"At least he was not chewing and spitting tobacco," joked a republican senate staffer who watched the telecast.
