Edwards and Iowa
If John Edwards wins Iowa, it’ll be because of one reason — he worked for it.
The Midwest is much more about “do” than “say” and folks a lot more interested in who you are than who you say you are. Perseverance, determination and taking time to learn the issues are greatly respected among Iowa voters. And they’ve learned a bit over the years about looking beyond the chatter and to the person. Edwards has spent a lot of time there and it is likely to pay off, but not because CNN, McClatchy or some other media outlet says he’s surging and the Iowans are getting on board. While most of the media seems to be covering a horse race in a distant galaxy, Iowans have been more focused on picking a presidential candidate.
