John Edwards raised $6.5 million in 105 appearances for 06 Dems


Instead, he's using the name recognition he built up in '04 and hitting the campaign trail early and often—quietly raising $6.5 million in 105 appearances for Democrats running in 2006.

His under-the-radar strategy is paying off, in Iowa at least. A June Des Moines Register poll of likely Democratic caucusgoers had Edwards leading a pack of potential presidential candidates that included other widely known names like Clinton, 2004 ticketmate John Kerry and even Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack.

1. Thank you, John Edwards
Money matters, unfortunate, but true.

John Edwards has the vote of this Iowan. We are gearing up and won't make the mistake of putting him in second place again.

2. If he wins there and I think he will, Hillary can kiss it goodbye.
of course we are a long ways to 08.

3. I don't hear much about Hillary in Iowa
You are right though that it is a long ways to 08.

However, it is truly remarkable to see Edwards' grassroots efforts here in Iowa. There is no pretense with this man. He is going for it one voter at a time.

I can't wait until he formally announces his plans to run.
