Edwards Campaign Press Release - Edwards Campaign Statement On Senator Clinton's Damage Control Efforts

Chapel Hill, North Carolina – Today, Edwards for President communications director Chris Kofinis released the following statement on Senator Clinton's post-debate damage control efforts:

"All the distractions in the world won't undo the fact that on Tuesday night millions of Americans saw John Edwards speak honestly and directly, while Senator Clinton once again took multiple positions on multiple issues. We understand that the Clinton campaign isn't happy about that, but instead of smoke and mirrors, how about some truth-telling? Forty-eight hours after the debate, we have lots of excuses, but we still don't have a yes or no answer to a yes or no question.

"That's not the 'politics of piling on,' it's the politics of parsing.

"After seven years of George Bush, the American people deserve better — they deserve the truth."
