Edwards National Campaign Manager Prefers Iowa over Home State of Michigan

Iowa Independent:

"Recently, my home state of Michigan violated Democratic National Committee rules by scheduling its primary before February 5. In response, John Edwards removed his name from the Michigan ballot, as did three other Democratic candidates. Senators Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, Congressman Dennis Kucinich and former Senator Mike Gravel stayed on. John Edwards' decision has generated a lot of controversy, especially in Michigan - a state that I had the honor of representing in Congress for 26 years. But John's decision was the right one. "
