Yesterday John Edwards marched with the hotel workers who have been picketing the Congress Hotel since 2003.  I got an email about it while I was at the Yearly Kos convention at McCormick Place, and it seemed like too good of an event to miss, so I decided to duck out of the convention and go march with him.  An hour before the event I went over to the John Edwards booth, rounded up three other Edwards supporters, we grabbed a cab and headed over.

Here is my best photo from the event, which I took while marching in the picket line with John:
