EDWARDS: the real underdog in America is the middle class and low-income Americans

Edwards blames media for perception of 2008 as Obama-Clinton contest
Race is wrongly portrayed as two-way contest, he says

What we saw happen in Iowa a few days ago we’re going to see in New Hampshire - that is, that the status quo is yesterday … and the voters of Iowa rejected the status quo.

“And, as much as the media told the Iowa caucus-goers there were only two people running on the Democratic side, they said no,” Edwards, a former senator from North Carolina, said yesterday.

The news from Iowa’s caucuses Thursday night was that Obama, a freshman senator who was fairly obscure a year ago, bested the former front-runner Clinton by turning out younger voters, many of whom were newcomers to the caucuses. Edwards narrowly edged out Clinton - after campaigning in Iowa for more than four years.

Edwards contends that his second-place finish in Iowa Thursday was a victory of his grassroots appeal. He says he came in between two candidates who together spent $200 million there and will outspend him again in New Hampshire. He’s not the candidate of power, glamour or glitz, and he’s proud of being an underdog, he says.
