Clinton, Edwards air new ads in N.H.
While sprinting to the finish in Iowa, Democrats Hillary Clinton and John Edwards today both launched new TV ads in New Hampshire.
Clinton's spot (watch it here) lists laudatory comments from her newspaper endorsements in the Granite State, including one from the Concord Monitor that says of her: A "unique combination of smarts, experience and toughness makes her the best choice to win the November election and truly get things done."
Edwards counters with an ad showing him making his populist appeal at a campaign rally in New Hampshire.
"Corporate greed has infiltrated everything that’s happening in this democracy," he says in the ad. "It's time for us to say, 'We're not going to let our children's future be stolen by these people.' I have never taken a dime from a Washington lobbyist or a special interest PAC and I'm proud of that."
In a new CNN/WMUR survey, Clinton leads a week before the Jan. 8 primary, with 34 percent support among likely voters. Barack Obama is in second with 30 percent, and Edwards is in third with 17 percent. Each hopes a win, or at least a strong showing in Thursday's Iowa caucuses, will give them a boost in New Hampshire.
He's never taken a DIME from special interests!!!!?????
THen what are the MILLIONS of dollars being spent by outside "helpers" in
IOWA and what about the hiddeous t.v. commercial showing "Santa Obama"
putting coal in people's stockings? That Ad is paid for by an outside company
supporting John Edwards.
What a LIAR!!!!
I have totally lost all respect for this man.

Are you talking about the 527's ?
If so, your comment is very misleading.
In Iowa, Edwards had a major TV presence only with the assistance of third-party ads paid for by unions and by a group fronted by his ex-campaign manager. The Obama and Clinton people see this lack of cash as a key vulnerability.
Sooooo WHERE's HILLARY"S AD?
Edwards never ACEEPTED money from the 527s. By law his campaign can not collaborate with them. THey are an independent group. By pretending otherwise you're trying to purposely decieve people so they support some corporate democrat like Obama or Clinton.
Politics is money. Especially campaign politics. It's the "blood" of any campaign and to believe that ANY candidate is completely free from campaign funding they would wish leave "unacknowledged" is naive.
I continue to contribute to John Edwards for President because I feel it will help make my candidate more able to campaign. Simple as that. He's who I want to be President. It's his policies that concern me once he IS President. I won't slap him for playing the game as it's played by politicians the world over.
