Edwards Statement on Obama Strategy

Edwards Communications Director Chris Kofinis: "The Obama campaign has spent over $9 million to our $2.6 million on television in Iowa and by all accounts we have the momentum. Their pre-occupation with money instead of the power of a strong message speaks volumes to a flailing campaign. And it may answer the question why the campaign premised on hope is closing with hopeless attacks. We'll put our message of fighting corporate greed up against Obama's and Clinton's mega millions any day of the week, in any state. The bottom line is this is an election, not an auction.  Democrats win elections when they address the real issues facing the lives of Americans.  John Edwards is the only Democratic candidate who won office in a "red" state, defeated a Republican incumbent, and he is the one candidate who will contest every state and win states thought lost to Democrats."
