Edwards in Iowa City

Edwards in Iowa City Iowa City, Iowa -- The Democrats now have Clinton, Obama, former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack and the one democratic candidate who never stopped running since losing in 2004.
That of course is former Senator John Edwards, who visited Iowa City today.
Edwards says, "Senator Clinton called me and told me she's looking forward to the race she thought she knew where the focus would be. I appreciated the call."
With Clinton now in the race for president, people listening to John Edwards speak at Iowa University this afternoon weighed in on her chances.
Jodi Homauni of Burlington says, "Does this country need a woman in office sure. I think that's fantastic that she's running. She's a very interesting woman. She can pull it off I think."
Homauni traveled eighty miles to hear Edwards.
"I just wanted to see if we were going to get a president that's going to make some changes."
She wants changes in Iraq. And Edwards talked about how he felt about the President's surge plan. "Dead set against an escalation of this war."
The President wasn't Edwards only target.
He says, "Senator McCain who is advocating this escalation long before George Bush went along with it. And he continues to support and advocate for an escalation."
McCain is one of the potential Republican presidential candidates. And with all the focus on the Democrats today, Elizabeth Edwards spoke of a Newsweek poll showing her husband beating the other party.
She says, "John is leading John McCain by the largest margin."
John Edwards says this is just the beginning. "It's about a year before the Iowa caucuses."
Giving voters time to look at everyone.
Homauni says, "If I could hear all three of them speak then I would know."
Living in Iowa, Homauni might get that chance.
Edwards added that unlike 2004 when he ended up as John Kerry's running-mate this time he says he won't settle for being vice president.
