Edwards Declared the Winner by a Focus Group of Undecided Nevada Voters. On Fox News, Frank Luntz' focus group from Las Vegas of thirty undecided Nevada Democrats declared Edwards the winner.
Luntz:
"How many of you thought John Edwards won?" [1/2 crowd raises hand]
"How many of you came in supporting Senator Edwards?" [About 3 people raise hand]
"On issue after issue, we're going to show this to you tomorrow night, his language actually scored better than Senator Clinton and Senator Obama."
Fox News
While other candidates engage in a battle over semantics, ever playing the gender and race cards, John Edwards remains rock steady in the progressive fight.
Unthwarted by attacks from the corporate elite and an essential MSM blackout, Edwards blazes on in giving voice to the voiceless.

Elizabeth Edwards NH Speech: Intro Remarks
With less than 24 hours left before the first in the nation New Hampshire primary, voters are getting a "glimpse behind the curtain" of what the candidates would be like as President.
Beyond all of the stagecraft and theatre that goes into every campaign, there have been some critical moments, where voters were given a glimpse behind the curtain as to "which ones are politicians and which ones are leaders" (Elizabeth Edwards).
John Edwards appeared on "This Week" today from New Hampshire after his powerful debate performance, last night.
During the show, Stephanopoulos brought up the subject of paid lobbyists to which Edwards forcefully answered, "there will be no paid lobbyists" in an Edwards White House.
Edwards is the only candidate who is backing up his call for change with bold, progressive plans and a committment to take on the entrenched interests to return our democracy to the people.

EDWARDS CAMPAIGN REPORTS RECORD-BREAKING CONTRIBUTIONS ONLINE
Strong finish in Iowa attracts thousands of first-time donors, putting campaign on track for best online fundraising day to date
Chapel Hill, North Carolina - Following a strong second-place finish in the Iowa Caucuses last night, the John Edwards for President campaign announced record-breaking online fundraising totals, putting the campaign on track for its best online fundraising day to date.
"We have been absolutely overwhelmed by the response to Sen. Edwards' strong finish in Iowa," said Edwards' senior strategist Joe Trippi. "We're on track for our best online fundraising day ever, since www.JohnEdwards.com went up a year ago - and half of the contributions we're seeing are from new donors to the campaign. That speaks volumes to the strength of John Edwards' message of standing up and fighting for the middle class."
The campaign first saw an uptick in online fundraising late last night, as the results from Iowa's first-in-the-nation contest began rolling in. The surge continued overnight, and by 8:45am ET this morning the campaign's online contributions had already topped the previous day's day-long total. Between the hours of 10:00am and 11:00am ET today, the campaign experienced its best online fundraising hour ever.

Edwards delivered an inspiring speech, making his final call to Iowans to caucus for him this evening.
"Corporate greed is robbing our children of the promise of America and it is time for us to fight back," Edwards told a raucous crowd. "And right here, beginning in the heartland of America, here in Iowa, you're going to rise up, you're going to stand up, you're going to speak up and you're going to say to America, `Enough is enough, we want our country back, we want our democracy back, we are better than this.'"

Edwards is hitting it hard on the trail in Iowa this week. As he headed out for townhalls today, the last Sunday before the caucus, another new poll was released that showed him in the lead in Iowa.

- Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware has 8 percent;
