John Edwards’ mom is sending along a Thanksgiving email to supporters, in which she (Bobbie) asks you to donate $20.08 to her son’s presidential campaign. In exchange, she’ll send you 5 family recipes.

As a member of our campaign family, If you donate just $20.08 (for the year we’ll elect my son the next president of the United States!), I’ll send you Elizabeth’s recipe for bread pudding, David and Judy Bonior’s recipes for “Sweet Potatoes with Apples” and “Mushroom Soup,” along with Joe and Kathy’s recipe for “Old Fashioned Down on the Farm Country Stuffing” — and my own special recipe for one of John’s favorites, Mac n’ Cheese!

Bobbie, be sure to send along a Happy Thanksgiving to your son’s “rabid” next door neighbor.
