E.Edwards Jaffrey House Party-Husband a man of Change

Elizabeth Edwards spoke yesterday afternoon in Jaffrey, NH after attending an event in Henniker, New Hampshire. Edwards, was seeking support from the monadnock region for her husband, Senator John Edwards. Edwards said her job is to convince the voters to personally listen to John speak.

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.
