John Edwards for President

Des Moines, Iowa – Today, building on John Edwards' growing strength in Iowa, the Edwards campaign announced ten new offices across the state that have opened in recent weeks. In addition, the campaign is posting signs at each location highlighting that the offices are not paid for by PAC or Washington lobbyist contributions – and that John Edwards is the ONLY candidate who has never taken a dime from PACs or Washington lobbyists ever. Today is the second day of Edwards eight day Iowa bus tour aboard the "Main Street Express" – which has a sign on the back which reads: "Not Fueled by PAC or Washington Lobbyists – EVER."

"Our campaign is continuing to gain strength in Iowa – based on the support of regular Americans, not lobbyists and special interests," said Jennifer O'Malley Dillon, the campaign's Iowa state director. "We continue to open offices, sign up supporters and aggressively reach out to undecided caucus goers in all 99 counties. We want every Iowan to know heading into caucus night that John Edwards is the only candidate in this race who has never taken a dime from PACs or Washington lobbyists. When he's president, he won't be looking out for special interests – just the interests of the American people."

In recent weeks, the Edwards campaign has opened ten new offices, bringing the total number of offices in Iowa to 25. Edwards is committed to reaching out to caucus goers in every county in Iowa. He is the only candidate to visit and take questions from Iowans in all 99 counties twice.

The new offices are in Algona, Decorah, Fairfield, Grinnell, Keokuk, Maquoketa, Marshalltown, Muscatine, Newton, and Spirit Lake. A full listing of Senator Edwards' offices is available online at http://www.JohnEdwards.com/Iowa/Offices

2. Hey There... I'm Liking This More & More! And What IF Biden Actually

comes in 2nd to Edwards?? I don't dislike Obama, but think Biden is more experienced. And I've become a little more concerned about Obama because of the Oprah Hoopla. Something about it didn't sit well with me, but can't say exactly what.

3. Just Clicked On Iowa To See The Offices... Not Knocking Iowa In Any

way, but that's one very "square" state! All the counties squared up too! Coming from Florida where there's sort of a mish-mosh all over, the alignment is amazing!
