The Business Primary: Buffett casts an early vote for Clinton | Main | Paul Newman, Bill Clinton ask Democrats for money Edwards starts TV ad in NH Democrat John Edwards began running a TV ad in New Hampshire today. Deputy campaign manager Jonathan Prince declined to say where or how often it is running, but did say that it's a strong buy. It's going to be on for a while.
Click here to see it. The ad starts with Edwards asking, Will we make America the country of the 21st century? That depends on all of us.
He ends with a line from the campaign trail: It’s time for the president of the United States to ask Americans to be patriotic about something other than war. Barack Obama started two ads this week in Iowa that are biographical. Edwards' is not, perhaps because most voters -- at least in New Hampshire --already know that the former presidential candidate and vice presidential nominee is the son of a textile mill worker.
The Edwards ad was supposed to start after July 4, but we're running ahead of our budget plan so it's on the air earlier, Prince said. The campaign fundraising goal for the second-quarter is $9 million; the goal for the year is $40 million.
