Edwards Camp: A Family Event
Sen. Hillary Clinton brought her mom, Dorothy Rodham, and daughter, Chelsea, to Iowa this past weekend, and now Sen. John Edwards is getting in on the family act.
The former North Carolina senator's parents, Wallace and Bobbie Edwards, will be on the trail in New Hampshire today and tomorrow. In both his 2004 and 2008 runs, Mr. Edwards frequently mentioned that he is the "son of a mill worker," and his campaign recently has run ads highlighting his roots in Seneca, S.C. Mr. Edwards's parents will host six meet-and-greets in rural northern New Hampshire to talk about how their son's "small-town upbringing and work in the mills gives him a deep and personal understanding of the issues facing rural and working Americans," the Edwards campaign said.
