John Edwards told supporters that he believes his message carried him to a high finish in Iowa.
He said that message of fighting corporate greed trumped that of other Democrats, even one who outspent him nearly 6 to one.
The former North Carolina Senator says he thinks New Hampshire voters are too independent minded to be seduced by what amounts to a spending war between Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton.
"And they are not going to be told either by money or the national media what they’re supposed to do. Instead, they’re going to look for somebody who speaks from here who truly believes in this cause, who will stand up and fight for the middle class, who will fight against money entrenched interest in Washington D.C."
Edwards and the other Democrats have just a few days before the state’s presidential primary, which will be held on Tuesday, January 8th.
