John Edwards Focuses on Poverty

John Edwards is leaving the normal campaign trail for the next three days to take an 8 state and 11 city tour through some of the most impoverished parts of America. He wants to "shine a bright light" on the issue of poverty, despite the fact that it doesn't resonate as a very high priority for likely voters in polls. Whether it's a super-sly strategy to gain politically by looking like he's not concerned with political gain, or a sincere attempt to highlight an issue that burns in his heart, Edwards is bringing our attention to circumstances that 1 in 8 Americans live in (and 1 out of 4 Black folks), and all of us are effected by. I haven't decided that Edwards is my candidate, but I definitely support this "Road to One America" tour...
