CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA - John Edwards is not finding many nice things to say about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a rival for the Democratic presidential nomination. Clinton won't promise to end American combat missions in Iraq, Edwards says. She is helping the Bush administration pave the way for military action in Iran. And she is too cozy with the Washington lobbyists, from whom she accepts campaign contributions.
"Does anyone here believe that if we trade a crowd of corporate Republicans for corporate Democrats, there will be any change in Washington, D.C.?" Edwards asked more than 1,000 people packed into the Cole College auditorium in Cedar Rapids on Monday night.
"Noooo," is the cry of a crowd that had been warmed up by performers Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne with the song, "Thing Called Love."
Edwards has not been filled with a lot of love toward Clinton in recent weeks, becoming the most aggressive Democratic hopeful in going after the New York senator. Now, the other Democratic presidential hopefuls are beginning to fire back. Edwards has gone from the hunter to the hunted.
