Welcome to the Thurday edition of the Edwards Evening News Round-Up (the title will become obvious shortly!). As usual with this campaign, it's been a rollicking day: from a new union endorsement to a 1,000 student rally, from a blast at the Bush mortgage plan to volunteering for Ohio's 5th District special election, with a little global warming thrown in for good measure. Here are tonight's stories:

• CWA Nevada


• Global Warming: Al Gore vs. Lieberman-Warner


• Homeownership


• Ohio's 5th


• More Support and a bit of Walking for Edwards
