Time Covers Edwards in Iowa

by John Patric

It's a sympathetic piece on the Edwards campaign in Iowa that covers all of the recent up and down: Elizabeth's awkward comments, John's re-energizing poverty tour, the inability of the campaign to catch fire nationally.

The magazine seems to get right the difference between the Edwards health plan and that of his 2 chief Democratic rivals: his is the only one which would cover everyone in the nation, without exception.

If I were running the Edwards campaign, I'd be hitting that one hard. It's easily understood and clarifies the importance of his separation from the corporate lobbyist crowd.
