Edwards to unveil rural economic recovery agenda

==Get you barn-storming boots ready. John Edwards will kick off a week-long rural outreach tour this Monday from his birth town of Seneca, SC, that will blend major policy speeches with country, string-pickin’ rallies.

Edwards will unveil his rural economic recovery agenda, which includes creating new jobs and businesses in rural areas, and helping those areas with schools, health care and family farms.

The SC event will be followed with a policy presser at a location TBD before the campaign heads to Nashville for a country and bluegrass concert at Ryman Auditorium. From there, the campaign will shoot up the Blue Ridge on Thursday for a rally in Roanoke with the bluegrass band Dr. Ralph Stanley and His Clinch Mountain Boys.

The tour fits into to Edwards’ strategy of trying to be the candidate with the detailed policy prescriptions, but it also sends the symbolic message that he is the only Dem nominee with Southern know-how and roots. At the helm this effort, of course, is David “Mudcat” Saunders who worked with the NC senator in ’03.==

Edwards continues to offer ideas and a real message for voters.

It seems the corporate media desperately wants this to be a two-way race on the Democratic side.

It's called corn to ethanol. :>)

...he is the only Dem nominee with Southern know-how and roots!

Glad he's doing this. Imagine having actual plans for addressing serious problems! This is a good thing in a candidate. :)

I find it's only getting more difficult to decide who I will be supporting for the Dem nomination. Edwards is definitely hitting my buttons here.

I think Edwards is brave. Other candidates are credited with having vision. A vision of WHAT?

;)

Does he have one? I am curious. Hope its not just more vague rhetoric without substance or meriting the ink.
Edwards interests me.
The death of rural economies can be blamed to so many of todays societal ills. I think of that every time I see the endless lines of cars headed on to metropolis each day to earn the daily bread ... A more local solution would be nice ... whats the plan?

He is making plans and putting them out there. Good for him!
