TRAVELING PREACHER: In pushing for Nagin's portrait, Edwards said he had just returned from visiting "six cities in the past seven days."
But when pressed after the meeting, he refused to say exactly where his journey took him or what business, if any, he undertook at public buildings in a half-dozen towns outside New Orleans.
Edwards, who burst into a lengthy belly laugh when asked about road trips, said he did not realize that a reporter had been at the meeting.
"We just travel a lot," he said, repeating the phrase no fewer than five times. "They accuse me of a lot of stuff. I'll come out on it, but not today. I'll come out on everything after the Nov. 7 election. For now, I'll just say, we travel a lot."
Edwards would not say who his accusers are, nor what information he plans to divulge on the day that the state's seven congressional seats, including the 2nd District office of U.S. Rep. William Jefferson, are up for grabs.
He also would not disclose who he is supporting in the marquee race on the New Orleans ballot. But logic dictates that Edwards will be backing Jefferson, who faces a dozen challengers -- and a federal bribery investigation -- in his attempt to win a ninth term.
