At a recent house party and town hall meeting in Dover, NH John Edwards showed up with Brent Blackwelder of Friends of the Earth Action to receive the group's endorsement for Democratic nominee for President. He came to campaign in a retail politics state and answer some very tough questions from NHer-ites; to give them a good look up close and personal at my choice for the nomination.
But he also came to criticize the system awash in "big campaign cash" as the true obstacle to the reform of our government and its policies on almost every issue today and particularly on global warming and health care. Edwards breezed through his remarks spending the bulk of his time at this campaign stop answering questions, but he kicked it up a notch on his criticism of Clinton on two main issues: lobbyists and Iran.
Follow me below the fold for all the video and what I hope is not the future of our party: defeat in 2008 with Hillary Clinton as our nominee.
