Edwards Ads Take Aim At Veto
By Chris Cillizza--Washington Post
Wednesday, May 2, 2007
----
Former senator John Edwards (D-N.C.) is launching the first television ads for his presidential campaign to coincide with President Bush's veto of the Iraq funding bill.
The ad, which will run in the D.C. media market, is aimed at sending a message to Congress as it considers the next steps on the war. In the ad, nine people are featured protesting the Bush administration's handling of the war in Iraq and asking Congress to stand up to the commander in chief.
"President Bush isn't listening to us," says one.
Another advises: "Don't back down to President Bush."
"Send him the same bill again and again," a third says.
Edwards appears in the ad only at its conclusion to offer the required tagline: "I'm John Edwards, and I approved this message."
The Edwards campaign refused to release the amount being spent on the ads, but they will run in the D.C. market on both broadcast and cable at a "strong buy" level, according to spokesman Eric Schultz.
There is also a major online component to the effort, in which users will be allowed to incorporate their own message to Congress and Bush into the ad and post them on both Edwards's presidential Web site and YouTube.

1. he's on now with wolff telling the dems to stand

their ground
what is the plan? I believe America starts to withdraw a greater possibility of a political solution
Juliani is fearmongering

2. Quote of the Day:'He has to be stopped, Wolf!'

Edwards was excellent on CNN just now. He gave an perfect blueprint for how to handle this phony funding crisis. Question is, will the Dem leaders in Congress listen? If so, will we keep enough Dems on board to force Bush to cave in first?

3. hes good! countered every statement Wolfie made!.n/t

4. This man is awesome. And unlike Kucinich he has the *best* chance of becoming President. nt

[Forkboy]

5. Why the dig?

:shrug:

[w4rma]

6. I mean no dig. You look at all the candidates chances and Edwards is in the best position.

Kucinich is not in any position to win. He's running to help get certain ignored (by big media) issues more play within American households.

You took my post the wrong way.

7. Why isn't the media reporting that Edwards beats all the GOP

including Rudy and McCain, while Hillary can't even beat Fred Thompson or Rudy (according to Rassmussen).

Its a shame.

10. Good for him. THat's what we need is a powerful voice OUTSIDE

Washington to challenge those inside Washington -- o wake them out of their slumber and spur them to real action. Hope it works, but he'll have to keep at it, I think.

11. Edwards' strong stand helps support the Dems in Congress. It's all good.

And he was great with Wolfie.

[Der Blaue Engel]

12. Wait, wait...who am I supposed to hate now??

Which Democrat am I supposed to foam at the mouth about and hurl sexist epithets at for not doing exactly what I want when I want it?

I'm so confused! I think my only option is not to vote. That'll show 'em!
