Edwards calls on Democrats to show a little backbone

The Edwards campaign went up on the air in Iowa yesterday with this ad:

My favorite portion: "It is time for our party, the Democratic Party, to show a little backbone, to have a little guts, to stand up for working men and women. If we are not their voice, they will never have a voice."

I couldn't agree more.

Also this week, Edwards sent out a 12-page mailer to Iowa Democrats. If you live in Iowa, you may have received it already. If not, you can find the jpegs here:

If you don't care about the photos and just want to read the text, I wrote that up here:

The mailer lays out Edwards' biography, but also talks more specifically about issues than the tv ad does. I assume that in the next four to six weeks, Edwards will release tv ads that talk briefly about his stands on the key issues.

What's the point of this comment? Why not just write your own diaries rather than derail someone elses?

look at my posting history (0.00 / 0)

And tell me that I have made this a "JRE fan site."

Another Bleeding Heartland front-pager, Simon Stevenson, is very anti-Edwards, by the way.

Invite other Iowa political junkies to join us at Bleeding Heartland.
