John Edwards Planning Charleston Fundraiser

2008 Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards is slated to attend a Thursday evening fundraiser in Charleston, state party officials tell The Associated Press.

I note that Edwards made several stops to the Mountain State as John Kerry's running mate during their unsuccessful 2004 bid. Bush-Cheney carried West Virginia (again), and also edged out the Democratic ticket in Kanawha County.

Edwards' scheduled visit would also come one week after he and his wife revealed the terrible news that her cancer has resurfaced.

The Thursday event would mark the second time West Virginia made the 2008 campaign trail, as the GOP's Mitt Romney was here earlier this month.
