Edwards says he sounds like a president
CONWAY, N.H.
John Edwards tried to shore up his New Hampshire support Wednesday with promises of fighting the establishment, changing Washington — and even speaking with a Southern accent.
The former North Carolina senator, on a 300-mile, one-day campaign tour through New Hampshire, stuck to populist themes for what he hopes will be an Edwards presidency.
“You’d better choose someone as your candidate who’s ready for this battle. Nice words will not change anything,” Edwards said in this northern New England town.
He also cited his small-town, Southern roots as an asset.
“The last two Democratic presidents, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter,” he said in his Carolina twang, “both talk like me.”
While Edwards said he was talking about fighting “big business” and “corporate greed,” he’s in a tight race with rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama in Iowa — where he was heading next.
“It’s a very competitive race. From everything I see, it’s a dead heat between the three of us,” Edwards told reporters after going door-to-door looking for votes in Nashua.
“This is my last day here. We’ll go from here to Iowa very late tonight. … I, Elizabeth, my kids, my parents — everybody will be stationed in Iowa between now and Jan. 3.”
Wild Thing’s comment……..
He can record his voice and listen to it all he wants. LOL not such a great idea to compare yourself to Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter…..no I don’t think so. Edwards wants to do is spend more of our money on programs that do not work.
Opee Edwards – the $400 haircut – people’s all American average middle class Joe six-pack? The millionaire who represents the poor too, eh?
The pompadour posturing ambulance chasing Breck Girl sure has a bad case of delusions of grandeur, his poll rating shows that even some of the Dim O Wits are tired of him.
But he has no foreign policy exposure! What will he do if and when we are attacked again and again? Hide under his desk? Run to mommy?
We simply cannot vote in someone who has no idea what to do in an emergency situation and keep a calm head about him.
Edwards has no clue and he has America looking like they have no clue.
drstrangeloveb52isok. Yesss, he is for the poor and down trodden…NOT. What a jerk he is among other names.
Jack yes he is not doing good at all in the rankings. I wish all the left would fall of the face of the earth. hahahaha
Lynn, exactly, all the Dems running will drag this country down into some horrible nightmare. Very scary.
What is even scarier is, there are so many people who want to vote for these Yahoo’s.
Mark, it sure is, that is very concerning and scary to me. And some of them are my inlaws and Nick has discussed politics with them endlessly. They just don’t get it at all.
John Edwards may sound like Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton and he would be just as effective with the Arab and Islamic leaders. Remember the long lines and wait for rationed gas on alternate days, Iranian Embassy hostage taking, first World Trade Center bombing, mobs of outraged Somalis dragging the bodies of American soldiers through the streets of Mogadishu mutilating and dismembering them, Khobar Towers, embassy bombings in Kenya and Nairobi, and the USS Cole?
I don’t think so shyster Edwards. We don’t need another Carter/Clinton sounding incompetent in the White House.
Les we sure don’t need another Carter or Clinton, one of each of those was one too many.
Yes! Elect John Edwards so he can do for the U.S. what he’s done for ob/gyn practices and malpractice premiums.
