In a world where candidates are many, one man stands apart from the crowd...

Born to humble beginnings in South Carolina, he spent his life fighting against the rich and powerful to help the kind regular people he grew up with.

Now we have the chance to let him bring that fight to the White House, to rescue a nation hijacked by special interests and deliver it back to the hands of the people.

From the people that want to end this senseless war, comes the story of the man who will bring you stronger schools, smart trade and universal health care. Starring South Carolina’s native son, John Edwards. On January 26th, choose a brighter future – John Edwards for President.

September 11, 2006, President Bush and first lady Laura Bush stand on a carpet of the American flag at Ground Zero in Manhattan, the site of the September 11, 2001 attack. Section 8b of the Flag Code reads, " The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground..." Photo credit: Reuters/Jason Reed

6. I love the Movie Trailer ads
They are a touch over the top but in a fun way.

They do tell the truth and they make Edwards be the hero he is.

I don't know if he's the right person for president or not but at the very least I'd like to see him neck in neck with obama and clintons and getting the coverage he deserves.

27. Fantastic ad!
Well, I'm stoked - today I convinced a disgruntled Republican friend to mail in his absentee ballot in for John Edwards! I'm sure you've all heard stories of your own - he's thoroughly fed up with the Republican candidates and Republican party! One by one by one by one......
