Edwards hustles on TV ad


DES MOINES—The John Edwards presidential campaign is hustling to get a new TV ad on the air in Iowa in the next few days that would take advantage of what most observers saw as a strong debate performance on Thursday.

Edwards, the former North Carolina senator, hammered home the theme during the Des Moines Register Democratic debate that corporate greed is hurting average working families, Rob Christensen reports.

The new TV is expected to reinforce those themes and may even include film footage from the TV debate—the last before the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses.

Re: Edwards hustles on TV ad

Thanks for correcting the text of this Dome item. Now the joke's on me because people will wonder what I was talking about in the previous post. But for readers, bloogers and staffers alike, all's fair in love and on-line journalism. So if we wish to needle The N&O about a typo, then turnabout is fair play.

OK, added the missing word...

Re: Edwards hustles on TV ad

Is Dome telling us that the Edwards campaign thinks corporate greed is hurting both average working families and Rob Christensen? What, are the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times trying to hire Christensen away from The N&O? Those New Yorkers should hold their horses at least until Christensen gets through covering Johnny Edwards' Iowa and New Hampshire campaigns.

Besides, the newspaper mostly likely to lure Christensen away from the lights of Fayetteville Street is probably the Washington Post because Christensen could be the next David Broder.
