Chapel Hill, North Carolina – Today, the John Edwards for President campaign began airing two new 30-second television spots in New Hampshire and South Carolina.
In “Born For,” which is airing in New Hampshire, Edwards tells voters that standing up to powerful interests on behalf of the middle class is the fight he was born for. In “Native Son” Edwards reminds South Carolina voters he was born in their state and his parents and grandparents worked in the mills there to provide him a better life.
