Edwards may scale back pledge on public cash

Campaign manager qualifies Democrat's words after his initial commitment

By David D. Kirkpatrick

Updated: 2:29 a.m. ET Sept 29, 2007
WASHINGTON - A day after John Edwards said he had decided to participate in public campaign financing as a matter of principle, his campaign manager appeared to scale back the candidate’s initial commitment.

The campaign manager said Mr. Edwards was leaving open the possibility of rejecting public financing for the general election campaign.

Mr. Edwards’s campaign advisers said he had not meant to commit himself for the general election, but the discrepancy added fuel to a debate over why he had abruptly embraced public financing after long signaling that he would not.

Does John Edwards even know what he wants or what he stands for? Either he's going to accept public financing or he's not.

2. And someone has a problem with that? The other candidates don't want to be president?
