Edwards First on “Election Express”
RALEIGH — He’s struggling in Democratic presidential primary polls and falling among the candidates in fundraising, but North Carolina Sen. John Edwards garnered a top distinction Wednesday in another category. He was the first person interviewed by the hosts of CNN’s “Crossfire” on the network’s “Election Express” bus, in Manchester, N.H. Edwards insisted that Dean wouldn’t be the Democratic nominee after CNN's Tucker Carlson pressed him to explain why he didn’t think Dean could defeat Bush.
