NYT Hot On Story Of John Edwards And The Mysterious Duke Graduate

jedwards_th.jpg
New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski is on a story. Serge, you'll remember, is the reporter who brought us the tale of Ashley Alexandra Dupré, the young working lady who consorted with former New York governor Eliot Spitzer. What's Serge up to? It looks slightly out of his normal range of Metro and local politics stories (although he does at times go national). All we know is it's a story about John Edwards and a Duke graduate—and right now he's combing the New York Times newsroom for Duke graduates to speak with. (We guess Times employees aren't sortable on Facebook by college group!) Personal to Serge: There's Stephen Labaton, class of '86—but we think you're looking for perhaps a more recent graduate? Oh gosh, we hope this is a nice story about how John Edwards was kindly to a college student with like tuition and helpful advice and stuff.

Could this be the Edwards's campaign aide and 'traveling companion ' Josh from all the Webisodes who got a speeding ticket on December 20, 2007 in Iowa from the Iowa Highway Patrol going 84 in a 70 mph zone between Des Moines IA and Le Mars, IA and paid $102.80?

Currently ranked #2 ahead of Obama, Bush, and McCain, sometime in the next week, John Edwards is poised will become the single most searched term on the New York Times website.

See for yourself.
