It appears in CNN has screwed up to make Edwards look like nothing in Iowa!
Today CNN posted this on there ticker
<Obama picks up big Iowa endorsement<p>
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama is set to get the backing of Iowa Rep. David Loebsack Monday, an endorsement that could give the Democratic presidential candidate a boost of momentum with less than three weeks until the state's caucuses.
Loebsack is slated to make the announcement in Des Moines later Monday.
The endorsement -- heavily courted by many of the presidential candidates -- gives Obama backing from two of the three Democratic Iowa congressmen. Rep. Bruce Braley announced earlier this month he was endorsing Obama, while Rep. Leonard Boswell said last week he is supporting Sen. Hillary Clinton.
Meanwhile the Des Moines Register -- the state's largest newspaper -- endorsed Clinton over the weekend.

Notice how it says Obama picked up the Braley endorsement, giving him 2 congressmen backing him, when the truth is Braley Endorsed Edwards!
Plus, CNN has nothing about the First Lady of Iowa, endorsing Edwards.
But im sure once they find out they will report it as going to Hillary or Obama.

It's pretty clear that corporate lobbyists have too much influence in Washington, DC, and that the corruption caused by big money interests giving legalized bribes to politicians is out of control.
John Edwards has never taken a dime from a Washington lobbyist, not only in this campaign, but in any political campaign he has ever run, since his first race for the Senate. In this, he is different from the other candidates, and way ahead of them, in my opinion, although Obama has, to his credit, also rejected lobbyist money for his first time in this presidential race.

(I originally posted this at Daily Kos earlier in the week, and got a decent response. I'm interested to see if it generates any thoughts here. Thanks!)
John Edwards is pretty good when it comes to the credit card industry. To be sure, he has made an issue out of it, while I can't find much anything about the issue on either Hillary Clinton's or Barack Obama's websites. I'll give credit where it's due: He's willing to take on issues that matter to real Americans.
But then the flip-side of that is that I'm addressing this diary to him, and not to the others. They should listen too. But I think Edwards is the only one who might, and maybe is the one who can make the best political use as well.
More below the jump.

Has the mainstream media found its newest lie about John Edwards?
A couple of recent news reports claim that John Edwards was booed recently at the National Urban League presidential forum when he criticized the recent spat between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. A video of his comments, however, tells a different story. It's clear from the video on CNN's website that he was mostly applauded, and although there may have been a few groans or shouts in the audience, they seem as likely to have been in agreement with Edwards about the futility of the Clinton-Obama spat as otherwise.

Cross post from The Word Smiths
For those of you who don't know, the Edwards campaign has produced a :30 ad asking Congress to send the same bill back to President Bush, the same thing I called on Congress to do last week.
