Big Ed will be broadcasting live from Columbus, Ohio at the Plumbers & Pipe Fitters Union # 189. Guests are General Wesley Clark, Major Paul Hackett, and from a PR I got Mayor Mike Coleman. I don’t see Mike on the Schultz site, but maybe he will in fact be there...they added him!
I will try to get down and give some updates…if you can make it love to see you give Ed some support. He’s a fresh voice and deserves our support. If you can’t, you can tune in on 1230AM or try the streaming audio.
…I might even try some mobloggin’ 
Update: Not gonna make it, but will try to get some sound clips up soon after the show!
Update 2: Got the audio…some good stuff. Ed is really great to listen to.

Best sound bytes:
“…spread democracy at the business end of an M16″
“I’m not drinking that Kool-Aid, I was there”
“Terrorism is an idea – and you can’t kill an idea just by killing bad guys”
“I don’t have to go to a Powerpoint presentation at the Pentagon to know that”
“Support the troops…brother I AM one of the troops”
“24/7…24 hours a week, 7 months a year” (referring to a Bush speech goof)

this was entertaining, but it would be nice to hear Hackett talk about something other than iraq. the show is in a union hall, and the entire discussion is about iraq?
he gets asked about it alot. it is also something that sets him apart and will continue to. i do think there are overused sound-bytes and that he needs to broaden his message and I’m sure that will happen – or hope it will – as time progresses closer to the election.
he does talk a bit about economy and middle class just about mid-way. the problem is people gravitate to his Iraq service.
i’ll agree he runs the risk of sounding like a one issue guy, and this needs to be addressed.
