John Edwards, "Grown Up"
John Edwards wants you to know he's a grown-up.
In a pair of new ads released in South Carolina today, the Democratic presidential hopeful spotlighting the acrimony between rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
The television spot, "Grown Up," includes clips of Obama and Clinton criticizing each other from Monday's Democratic debate. Cut to Edwards: "This kind of squabbling - how many children is this gonna get health care? How many people are gonna get an education from this? This is not about us personally. It is about what we are trying to do for this country."
The radio ad, "What Really Matters," strikes similar themes.
"The middle class is being squeezed," an announcer says. "An economic crisis looms. Our nation is at war. And too many Americans have no health care. And what do we get from two Washington politicians running for President? Nasty squabbling and personal attacks."
