| Description | NASHUA, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Presidential candidate John Edwards courted Democratic activists in New Hampshire on Saturday, playing up differences over the Iraq war with rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in the key primary state.
Drawing a contrast with Clinton, who faced criticism in New Hampshire this month for not repudiating her 2002 Senate vote authorizing the Iraq war, Edwards emphasized that he had repeatedly apologized for voting to authorize the war.
"I voted for this war. I should have not voted for this war. I was wrong to vote for it," the former North Carolina senator said in Nashua, the second-largest city in the state that helps to kick off the 2008 White House race.
A distant third in New Hampshire polls, Edwards needs to emerge from the large shadows cast by Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record) of Illinois, who drew big cheers and standing-room only crowds of more than 1,500 people on a December trip to the state. |
