John Edwards said that he will return to New Orleans.
In his concession speech today, he said that he will work on a Habitat for Humanity today and return to the Hurricane Katrina-ravaged city in the future.
"One day, the trumpets will sound in Musicians Village," he said.
Edwards called for universal health care, an end to the Iraq war and a return to fighting poverty. He said that both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have told him they will make ending poverty central to their presidencies.
"This is the cause of my life," he said, "And I now have their commitment to this cause."
He said that things will work out for him.
"This son of a millworker is going to be just fine," he said. "Our job now is to make sure that America is fine."
