The whitest family in America then goes out and plays in the snow: Mitt gives a hesitant grandkid’s sled a hearty push -- “NOOO!!!” Mitt goes flying down the hill head first. One of Mitt’s kids tackles him and knocks him head over heels. Mitt has new gloves but he loves to wear his old duct-taped pair.

Academy Award winner Tim Robbins joins the Edwards "Main Street Express" bus tour in Iowa and speaks to a town hall meeting in Des Moines. Robbins says the media is bamboozling voters and that Edwards has “the best chance to beat Republicans in the general election.”
