President Clinton and Vice President Edwards
LEWISTON, MAINE -- During a town hall meeting today, Hillary Clinton opened the floor to questions and a woman, who identified herself as a former supporter of John Edwards, told Clinton she is now supporting her.
The woman said she hopes Clinton will “consider John’s policies and his fighting spirit when you get to the White House.”
Clinton, who had mentioned Edwards' work on health care in her speech (something she has not done in quite a while), told the woman she and Edwards “have a lot in common.” Clinton called Edwards a “fighter” and told the woman, “I will be a fighter and I intend to ask John Edwards to be a part of anything I intend to do in the White House.”
Edwards has not formally endorsed any candidate since dropping out late last month. But both Clinton and Barack Obama have said they intend to court his base of supporters - in fact, Obama told reporters he spoke to Edwards a few days ago but wouldn't elaborate on their conversation.
When asked whether Clinton’s comments on Edwards were calculated, her campaign denied that the reference to Edwards earlier in her speech was planned.

Technology in politics seems normal
The first NH audio mobile message will be sent out this week with a special message from Elizabeth Edwards. Elizabeth’s message will ask voters to host a house party for John Edwards and inform them that the host of the house party with the most attendees will win a ticket to accompany her to the next presidential debate on September 26th at Dartmouth College.
On Saturday, the campaign also launched its first live video stream both from the Carpenters' union endorsement in Nashua and then a house party in Manchester. The live stream of the Manchester event was syndicated on the New Hampshire for Edwards website, on Ustream.tv and on the Edwards profiles on Facebook and MySpace. The campaign will continue to live stream New Hampshire events at www.johnedwards.com/nh. The footage from the events will also be archived on the website where people can listen to events they were unable to attend.

E.Edwards Jaffrey House Party-Husband a man of Change
Edwards, after Arriving at the home of a campaign supporter and breast cancer survivor, stood between a group of 100 or so house party attendees. The guests ranged in age from a 3 week old baby, to senior citizens. The group was split between men and women, even with the homeowners’ dog, and cat present.
Elizabeth praised the granite state and talked about the campaign and its support for the First in the Nation Primary, describing the support as being, "deeply committed."
Along with pledging support for the First in the Nation Primary status, she joked about how beautiful the area was on such a beautiful day. Even going as far as saying "I could live there," in reference to houses she passed on her way to Jaffrey.
Edwards was questioned by all men, until a group of women spoke up seeming a bit agitated and asked that the women have the next question. Topics of discussion ranged from healthcare, to gay marriage and also the Senators stance on the Israeli conflict.
Mrs. Edwards said that John believes his stance on gay marriage is Irrelevant. The Q&A also featured talk about healthcare. Mrs. Edwards even took time to answer a question about the difference between New York Senator Hillary Clinton, and her husband, "Hillary is fine with the status quo, John is not fine with the status quo,” in regards to special interest and the current situation our country is in.
The wife of the South Carolina Senator said that John has seen the special interests involved with government; he knows they influence decision and they are not fair and not right. "John wants to right the ship, and give the mega-phone back to the people, and out of the hands of businesses," said Mrs. Edwards.
Following the Jaffrey House Party, Elizabeth went to the campaign's Keene, New Hampshire headquarters- located on Main Street, and flew out of Keene to meet up with the rest of her family in Pittsburgh for a Labor talk.
