In NH, Edwards Fights to Stay in the Mix
Edwards is one of the most ferocious campaigners ever seen on the trail. He campaigned 36 hours non-stop in Iowa at one point. He had the earliest event Friday morning (6:15 a.m. on the schedule) and will stump all day today with hardly a break to prepare for tonight's crucial debate. There is no margin of error for Edwards, no backup plan: He has to find a way to stay at the center of the primary narrative despite the almost reflexive tendency of the news media to frame the race as Front-runner and Challenger. --Joel Achenbach
