Edwards Outlines Policies in Des Moines

Edwards Outlines Policies in Des Moines

By Christine Hauser

DES MOINES – Following last night’s speech at the Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner, John Edwards released a booklet today summarizing his policies for caucus-goers and reinforcing many of the central issues of his campaign at a speech this morning.

Less than two months before the Iowa caucuses, Mr. Edwards appears to be also trying to capitalize on the launch of his first television commercial in the state and an endorsement last week from a group of thousands of Iowa caucus goers to propel his position in the race.

In the next few weeks more than 100,000 copies of the booklet, which has 77 pages of policy outlines and is called “Bold Solutions for Real Change”, will be distributed to caucus goers in Iowa, Mr. Edwards said.

“So you won’t have to guess where I stand,” he said.

Mr. Edwards, and indeed the other candidates, had a quick turnaround following the Iowa Democratic Party’s dinner, which ended after midnight. Before noon today, Mr. Edwards appeared in what was billed by his campaign as a “major thematic speech” at the State Historical Building in downtown Des Moines.

Again, Mr. Edwards emphasized that he believes Americans are facing a “moral test” which they must pass by leaving a country on the mend to future generations, a theme that he has highlighted intensively over the past few weeks.
