Democrats Take to the Air with Final Pitches in Iowa
DES MOINES (AP) - The three leading Democrats are making their closing pitches to Iowa voters in televised appeals on the eve of the state's caucuses.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is asking Iowans to ``take the first step'' toward changing the direction of the country by voting for her at the caucuses tomorrow. Clinton's comments come in a two-minute appeal to be broadcast during Wednesday night's news programs. John Edwards will rely on the words of a laid-off Maytag worker, who offers a one-minute testimonial that recalls Edwards' pledge to keep fighting for jobs. Barack Obama, like Clinton, purchased two-minute time slots across the state, for an ad that will air during news broadcasts. Also, in an e-mail to Iowa supporters, Obama state director Paul Tewes cast the Illinois senator as the Democratic candidate who can attract independents and Republicans. More Good Stuff |
