Edwards Walks a Mile in a Nurse's Shoes

SEIU challenged every presidential contender to spend a day walking in the shoes of one of their members. John Edwards was the first one to step up. Clindon, Richardson and Dodd have also signed up to participate. Yesterday was Edward's turn and he joined nursing home worker Elaine Ellis from breakfast through her rounds.

Elaine is a member of 1199 in New York. I had the pleasure of working beside a number of members and staff from that local during the 2004 presidential campaign. They were a joy to be around and it looks like Edwards enjoyed his time in the nursing home.
