John Edwards actually said...

"This is not George Bush's backyard. This is my backyard."

"This is a man who campaigned for the last week, indeed for the last two weeks, saying, I'm a southerner. I can win here in the south."

"That's who's leaving the White House come November."

"The bottom line is this is a very fluid race. It looks like it's narrowed down to two or maybe three candidates."
