...."Honestly, if you don't bring up Iraq, I'll bring it up," the former North Carolina senator told about 150 people gathered in a state senator's living room and kitchen.
And when the first few questions dealt with other issues _ homelessness, catastrophic health insurance, the federal budget _ Edwards again suggested someone might want to ask him about Iraq. Edwards wanted to make sure everyone there knew he regretted his Senate vote that gave President Bush the authority to begin the war in Iraq _ an apology Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has refused to offer.
"I suspect some in the room know this already, maybe everybody: I voted for this war. I should not have voted for this war. I was wrong to vote for it. I have to take responsibility for that and I do," Edwards said when asked about the procedural wrangling in the U.S. Senate over how to challenge to President Bush's Iraq war policy.
On his way to an appearance in Salem, Edwards told reporters he wanted to make certain his position was clear.
"I just wanted to make sure anyone who hadn't heard me say it, knows that that's my position. On that issue and everything else, I want to make it absolutely clear to voters in New Hampshire where I stand," he said.

Breck Girl: "Me, vote for me, I was wrong on Iraq...Hey over here, I'm running for president...Have you seen me shake my hair daintily in the sunlight...please vote for me...You know, I was an idiot to vote for the Iraq war...Hey, is anyone out there?"
Yes John, we know, you were for the war before you were against it because that worked so well for Jean Francois Cherie. Why don't you tell us about your single payer Socialized Medicine scheme again?
So he would prefer that Saddman was still in power. How about the Taliban??
Pray for W and Our Troops
Sad when he thinks a winning strategy slogan is "vote for me I screw up".
That's what it sounds like to me.
Spot on. He's in the noise. You'd think he could dole out some of his $$$ to help the "other" America if he really cared. The man is in love with himself.
(the kiss of death) From the article:
<<<...."He's a Jimmy Carter-kind of guy," said Harris, who housed 20 John Kerry volunteers in 2004 but hasn't decided who will get her support in 2008. "I'm very impressed. ....>>>
"Edwards wanted to make sure everyone there knew he regretted his Senate vote that gave President Bush the authority to begin the war in Iraq _ an apology Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has refused to offer."
Does anyone else see what is coming? Edwards is setting the stage for Hillary's courageous apology about the war.
I swear... them pills I bought on the internet made it this big!
Oh, I hope John Edwards stays in the race as long as possible. He is the perfect liberal democrat candidate -- a liar, a phony, a self-seeker, and, on the issues, a complete fool. The longer stooges like Edwards stay in the race, the more fun we will have! For the first time in quite a while, I am actually looking forward to the democrat race for the nomination. lol
EEEEEEWWWWW!!!
"vote for me I screw up"...
Very good, mom.
He can follow that up with "and I brag about it".
Hey Edwards, In case no one asks - hired any more bigots?.
