Democratic candidate John Edwards, right, sings "Amazing Grace" with bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley after he addresses several hundred people on the campus of the University of South Carolina-Lancaster on issues of health care and rural America.


3 Reasons ...John Edwards should stay in the race
Road to Washington goes through Lizard's Thicket
Clinton radio ad angers Obama allies
Paper ballots standing by
Bill Clinton says race, gender will decide South Carolina contest

Rural recovery
On the issues, John Edwards says he should have the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination wrapped up.

For starters, the U.S. economy is on shakier ground now than it was four years ago when Edwards ran for president, decrying job losses due, he said, to the North American Free Trade Agreement.
