John Edwards (sporting a $1,250.00 Hair Do) To Announce Poverty Tour
John Edwards plans to announce Monday that hell take a break from fund-raising and campaigning in early-voting states next week for a three-day, eight-state, 12-city Road to One America tour aimed at calling attention to poverty in the deep South, the Mississippi Delta, Appalachia and the Rust Belt. The campaign points out that none of the states hell visit has an early 2008 primary, and says Edwards wont be doing rallies.
Instead, TV viewers will see The Breck Girl Edwards in coal country, Edwards in a factory, Edwards on a farm, Edwards in a struggling neighborhood, Edwards in a school, Edwards in a health care clinic. Like my do yawl? Its an effort to show the rest of the country how 37 million Americans live their lives in poverty every single day, an Edwards aide said. Its not only their workplaces -- its their homes and the places they get health care.
