Gephardt in His Own Words

From time to time during the presidential primary, New Hampshire Public Radio is playing excerpts of the candidates' stump speeches.

Today we listen to Missouri Democrat, Dick Gephardt. Congressman Gephardt received the endorsement of the Teamsters Union this weekend. At a rally for union members in Manchester, his speech focused on health care and international trade.

Gephardt talked about health care in personal terms, telling the story about his son's battle with cancer.
