(2003-07-10) — Following the example of Sen. Bob Graham, whose presidential campaign sponsored a Ford F-150 in a NASCAR race, Sen. John Edwards hopes to boost his own presidential potential by sponsoring NASCAR crashes.
Sen. Edwards, D-NC, a former personal-injury attorney, said his name and slogan will appear at the bottom of the screen during all televised wrecks in NASCAR events.
“We know why people are watching these races,” said an unnamed campaign aide. “So as soon as the car hits the wall and spins out across track, our man pops up with an ‘Edwards for President’ graphic and our slogan: “I don’t get paid unless I collect entitlements for you’.”
