Edwards Leading, Calls on Rove To Resign

Just got this from the Edwards campaign:

Karl Rove’s shameless attempts to twist the federal government for partisan gain have simply gone too far. Rove is now clearly at the heart of the political firing and replacement of U.S. Attorneys warping the impartial execution of justice that all Americans depend on—and that’s just the beginning. We need to take a stand right now to defend the integrity of our government and our democracy—Karl Rove must be fired.

John Edwards will sound this call Thursday evening during the first presidential debate, and we want to show that when that happens, he’s speaking for thousands.

It's one thing to do a petition (which is here), it's another to use the biggest campaign platform to date, the first primary debate, to make the call. You have to be impessed with Edwards' leadership and his ability to take strong stands.
