Edwards campaign makes stop at GSW

Edwards speaks at GSW--Presidential candidate John Edwards and his wife, Elizabeth, made a campaign stop at Georgia Southwestern State University Wednesday, August 29. Senator Edwards' speech touched on the environment, health care and poverty, with the North Carolina Senator stating that the minimum wage should be raised to $9.50 per hour. President Jimmy Carter, who was also in attendance said that Edwards was "a candidate whom I really admire." President Carter stopped short, however, of endorsing Sen. Edwards but said that Edwards "has a very good chance to do well" in the current presidential race. Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter was also in attendance.
