IOWA: John Edwards and the Myth of the Self-Made Man
by Jeff
“Some people come from nothing to being wildly successful and their response is, ‘I did this on my own.’ I came to a different conclusion. I believe that I did work hard, and I think people should work hard, but I think my country was there for me every step of the way.”
A new Iowa poll, released yesterday of likely Democratic caucus goers, shows John Edwards moving into the lead with just six days left. The Lee Enterprises newspapers poll shows John and Barack Obama at 29 percent each and Hillary Clinton at 28 percent, with 19 percent of Democrats still making up their minds.
John has moved up 5 points in just two weeks.
