John Edwards stopped in Marshalltown on Monday evening on the first
day of his 8 day bus tour across Iowa. Edwards spoke in front of 154
people at Marshalltown High School. A long time Marshalltown Democrat
and former county chair told me this was the first time a presidential
candidate has come to the High School. This was my 8th time seeing
Sen. Edwards and I noticed some differences tonight compared to past
speeches. First, the message was toned down. A couple months ago the
headlines were about John Edwards being too angry. Tonight, Edwards
took the high road and even joked about the silly campaign antics of
Clinton and Obama arguing about a Kindergarten essay.
