While for some crazy reason the staff of former Democratic vice presidential nominee and North Carolina Sen. John Edwards tried to keep the details secret, the plan went awry on Wednesday when an election Website went live and the place for the announcement in East New Orleans had not been released.

The New Orleans bureau of the Associated Press broke the story anyway, and why shouldn’t they, since everyone knew it was coming?

This is no way to start a campaign, although the New Orleans backdrop could prove powerful if the Edwards campaign can gets its act together by in the morning.

The Locust Fork News and Journal staff will be there to cover the event live with photos, so check back about mid-morning Thursday. We are stopping to blog in Tuscaloosa on the way from Birmingham.
