Voters quiz Edwards on policy booklet

[Nutmegger]

ROCHESTER, N.H. - Voters didn't mind that Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards was running a bit late Sunday — it gave them time to scrutinize the 77-page policy booklet printed by his campaign.

Though many attendees at the town hall meeting came prepared with questions, others told the former North Carolina senator they were inspired by reading the booklet he has been distributing to voters in New Hampshire and Iowa.

In it, he outlines his vision in four areas: standing up for working families, ending the war in Iraq, building a better future for children and ensuring opportunity for all. But one voter suggested a fifth category: balancing the federal budget.

"We had good time to read your pamphlet while you were flying in. I love everything, but it seems to me that there is a Roman numeral five that might be missing," the woman said. "I worry that with you as the candidate, the other side would paint you as a typical way-out on the left, tax-and-spend liberal."
