Democrat Edwards looks to pull a surprise in Iowa
While all eyes are on the heavyweight Democratic bout in Iowa between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, a revamped John Edwards is looking to steal the presidential campaign's first big prize.
Edwards, the former North Carolina senator, has eased off his attacks on rivals, dusted off the populist rhetoric of his 2004 race and primed his campaign for the sort of late charge that carried him to a strong second-place finish in Iowa four years ago.
Edwards probably needs a win or a strong second to stay in the race. Either would dramatically reshape a Democratic contest dominated for months by the showdown between Clinton, a New York senator, and Obama, an Illinois senator.
"When the caucus-goers in Iowa rise up, there is going to be a wave across America that absolutely nobody can stop," Edwards said at a recent rally in Des Moines.
Go John!
