Edwards' New Hampshire Commercial

John Edwards released the following commercial in New Hampshire this morning. It's his same economic populist message, but in a less combative tone and appealing not just to Democrats but to independents and Republicans, too. In other words, it's the John Edwards' message, wrapped in a style closer to Barack Obama. Apparently Edwards has learned from his loss to Obama last night. Will it be enough to win New Hampshire on Tuesday? Only time will tell, but you have to admire the way Edwards learns and keeps going!



P.S. Bill Clinton is telling folks that NH can make Hillary "the comeback kid" as it did for him in '92. This is revisionist history: Clinton and all other Dems. skipped Iowa in '92 because Iowa's favorite son, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) was running there. Harkin won, but ONLY Iowa. Bill Clinton lost to Paul Tsongas in NH in '92! He didn't start winning for several primaries--something that this year's frontloaded schedule will make difficult as a model for Hillary to follow. If H.R. Clinton comes in 2nd in NH after coming in 3rd in Iowa, she will have a VERY hard time being "the comeback kid."
