Edwards And Poverty

Tuesday, June 12 2007 by | Send to a friend

John Edwards may be running third in the polls in the race for the Democratic nomination for president, but his campaign has accomplished one thing: raising awareness of the problems afflicting the country's poorest citizens. But is poverty a winning campaign issue? Host Frank Stasio looks at the Edwards campaign and the questions it is raising with: Rob Christensen, political reporter and columnist with the News and Observer of Raleigh; and Kerry Haynie, associate professor or political science at Duke University. Listener Call-In.
