Edwards: What about me?

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- On the heels of a Democratic debate in
which he reminded everyone that there was a third candidate,
presidential candidate John Edwards is hitting both the campaign
trail and the air waves.
Tonight, the former North Carolina senator is scheduled to
appear on the "Late Show with David Letterman," followed by an
appearance on the "Tyra Banks Show" on Friday.
In between, he's campaigning in South Carolina with bluegrass
legend Ralph Stanley and actor Danny Glover.
In last night's debate in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, tried to
stay above the fray while pleading for equal time. He badly trails
both Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.
At one point, he asks "Are there three people in this debate,
not two?"

Interesting Stats on Edwards Coming from Iowa

Some interesting statistics from CNN showing a detailed breakdown on the type of people who caucused for each candidate.

I see that John Edwards support showed some significant things:

42% of people who called themselves "Conservatives" voted for Edwards.

Also, if you read "Top Candidate Quality", you will see that 44% considered him top contender in "Cares About People" and perhaps the most significant stat, 36% of the caucus-goers considered John to be most electable.

Edwards Urges Voters to Overturn Iowa Results

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards today asked New Hampshire voters to reject the Iowa caucus results and vote for a candidate "who will fight for the middle class."

The former North Carolina senator says corporate interests are moving jobs overseas and making health care expensive.

Edwards narrowly edged out Hillary Clinton for second place behind winner Barack Obama in Iowa. Edwards told about 300 campaign workers and supporters in Manchester, New Hampshire, this morning that voters have two choices, implying Clinton is out of the running.

Edwards suggested he would wage a populist agenda more energetically than Obama.

Edwards and his advisers see Iowa's results as a clear call for political change in America.
