Edwards sounds populist clarion call

Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor December 28, 2007 02:02 PM


John Edwards, following up on two new TV ads in Iowa that sound his populist clarion call, started a similar one in New Hampshire today.

In the ad, he rails against corporate greed in Washington, which he argues is destroying jobs and the middle class while the political establishment sat by and did nothing.

"As much as we like to think so, good intentions won't change a thing," Edwards says in the ad. "Corporate greed won't be stopped without a president who fights for you. Saving the middle class will be an epic battle, And that's a fight I was born for."

Speaking of being born, he also started a new ad today in South Carolina that reminds voters there that he was born in the state.

  1. Look out New England. Here comes John Edwards! He is the right candidate at the right time. We can take our party back and, if we do, we will take our nation back. You have, New Hampshire has, the opportunity to put our nation back on this correct and courageous course.

  1. I second that thought. John Edwards is exactly what this country needs right now. Someone to put the brakes on this fast slide down. Corporate CEO's make more in perks than an entire labor force in some instances. This method is killing this country and especially the middle class. I am looking forward to a country that is healthy again under John Edwards.

  1. JOHN EDWARDS will win BIG in Iowa and go on to be President of the United States. Edwards will win because he is the ONLY candidate who represents the middle class in America, and NOT the mega-corporations, BIG OIL, the drug companies, the insurance industry, and the like.

  1. John Edwards has the best plans for Health Care, Global warming, campaign finance reform, cutting the deficit, education and getting out of Iraq. Let's get him a democratic majority in the Senate too, then we can really turn this country around.
