John Edwards' New Orleans speech was supposed to be about poverty.
The Edwards campaign sent out a press release at 1 p.m. yesterday, saying that he would give a "major policy address" at the Musicians Village and then work on a Habitat for Humanity house.
On Wednesday, January 30, 2008, Senator John Edwards will return to New Orleans to deliver a major policy address on poverty, the great moral issue of our time. In recent days and weeks, national discussion of important issues like ending poverty has given way to sniping and personal attacks between the two frontrunner candidates. Ending poverty and fighting for the middle class is the cause of John Edwards' life — and he will urge the nation to refocus on this important issue.
Edwards' decision to give his dropout speech in New Orleans means it will likely still focus on poverty, the central plank of his 2008 campaign.
He was also scheduled to speak at the Georgia Democratic Party's Jefferson-Jackson Dinner tonight.
