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.
