EDWARDS CAMPAIGN STATEMENT ON NEVADA CAUCUS RESULTS

Chapel Hill, North Carolina – John Edwards for President campaign manager, former Congressman David Bonior, released the following statement about today’s Nevada caucus results.

“Congratulations to Senator Clinton for her win in Nevada. Our campaign is very grateful to all those who demonstrated the loyalty and dedication to stand up for John Edwards in the face of very difficult circumstances and long odds, including our brothers and sisters in Nevada from the Carpenters, Steelworkers, Transport Workers, and Communications Workers of America.

“John Edwards is the underdog in this campaign, facing two $100 million candidates. But that is nothing compared to the real underdogs in our country – working men and women, middle class families, and all those who have no voice in Washington.

“John Edwards is in this race to fight for the real underdogs and to make sure the voices of the American people are heard in Washington, not the special interests. That’s why he’s the only candidate in this race who has never taken a dime from PACs or Washington lobbyists; the only candidate who will ban corporate lobbyists from his White House; and the only candidate who is honest enough to say we are in a fight for our country and we need to take on the special interests if we are going to have a country that works for hard-working families and the middle class.

“The race to the nomination is a marathon and not a sprint, and we’re committed to making sure the voices of all the voters in the remaining 47 states are heard. The nomination won’t be decided by win-loss records, but by delegates, and we’re ready to fight for every delegate. Saving the middle class is going to be an epic battle, and that’s a fight John Edwards is ready for.”

Edwards 2008!!!

It will all be worth it when we can call you President Edwards. :thumbsup:

I voted for him for Governor of Michigan...too bad he didn't make it in the primaries. I'd vote for him again.

Godspeed John Edwards The Only Hope For Working America! :patriot:

I just want everybody to know what the *official* press release says before AP gets ahold of it :D

Your caring about the working class and poor has reduced my hatred of this country at least 20%. NGU!

"That’s why he’s the only candidate in this race who has never taken a dime from PACs or Washington lobbyists"

or anyone else and happen to work as a lobbyist I would be counted as a lobbyist according to what was posted on the right side. Sorted this way my job would override my individual reasons for donating to a candidate.
Now I wonder what they would classify me under since job wise mine isn't listed.

Someone who has a job as a lobbyist donates to a candidate, you have taken a lobbyist donation.

Edwards has taken money from Lobbyists, corporations and ALL THE SAME SOURCES as the other candidates.

The only reason he gets away with this particular lie is because he isn't high enough in the polls for anyone to investigate the statements.

fill out the paper work..call your DEC or go online to your DEC and get the paperwork..sign up as a Edwards delegate now!!

fly

Just take a moment to reflect upon how refreshing that is after 2000 and 2004.

Thank you, John Edwards.

:dem:

-Laelth

and see what happens - there is no reason to do otherwise - this country for far too long has allowed there to be one DEM & one REP chosen before the conventions and there are candidates with different platforms out there, and now I understand why Dennis Kucinich stays around. John needs too also. He's got enough money to do it, and enough support and who knows what may happen!

Thank you, David Bonior, and thank you John Edwards!
