DescriptionEdwards Hopes for Iowa Caucus Surprise

Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards vowed Sunday to defeat President Bush across "my back yard" in the South as he strained to convert late campaign enthusiasm into an Iowa caucus surprise.

"The South is not George Bush's back yard," he said of the Texas-reared president. "It is my back yard and I will beat George Bush in my back yard, and you can take it to the bank," Edwards said as he neared the end of a final day of campaigning before Monday's caucuses.

Edwards also closed out his Iowa campaign with a pledge to rid the government of special privileges for the rich and powerful. "When I am president, we'll restore this back to you," he said.
