John Edwards left nearly a quarter of his overflow crowd out in the cold at his kickoff event in New Hampshire, according to Holly Ramer of Forbes.com:
Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards asked an overflow crowd to join him Friday in taking responsibility for problems ranging from poverty to global warming.
Nearly a quarter of the crowd of more than 800 were left standing outside in 30-degree temperatures after the elementary school cafeteria where Edwards was to speak quickly filled up.The former North Carolina senator and 2004 vice presidential nominee ended up giving his introductory remarks outside, using a microphone that broadcast his voice inside, before heading indoors.

We can, at least, rest assured that the brisk New England wind couldn't muss up his hair . . .
