Edwards Urges N.H. Voters To Overturn Iowa Results
Edwards Urges N.H. Voters To Overturn Iowa Results
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) ― Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards implored New Hampshire voters Friday to repudiate the Iowa caucus results and vote for a candidate "who will fight for the middle class" against corporate interests that he accuses of moving jobs overseas and making health care expensive.

Edwards, who narrowly edged out Hillary Rodham Clinton for second place behind winner Barack Obama in Iowa, said New Hampshire voters "now have two choices," implying Clinton is out of the running.

Without naming his rivals, Edwards suggested he would wage a populist agenda more energetically than would Obama as he addressed about 300 campaign workers and supporters at a dawn rally in Manchester.

Edwards and his advisers saw Iowa's results as a clear call for political change in America after two terms under President Bush. Their goal is to focus the choice between Edwards and Obama, and then portray Obama as too tepid and conciliatory.
