Edwards Files for New Hampshire Primary

October 29, 2007 10:31 AM

ABC News' Raelyn Johnson Reports: Greeted by a throng of supporters gathered in the halls of the New Hampshire statehouse Monday, Democratic presidential contender former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., filed to have his name put on the New Hampshire primary ballot.

While a permanent date for the New Hampshire primary is still up in the air, Edwards told a room full of reporters he would vigorously campaign in the Granite State, no matter when the primary is. 

Edwards, who has trailed Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in the polls assured that he is still very much present in what has been shaping up to be a two person race.

"I think what people want in New Hampshire is, they want to see change," Edwards said. 

"If they want to insure that, in fact, we do what 20 generations have done before us and that meets the great moral test of our generation, we're going to have to take on a system that is rigged and corrupt and doesn't work.  That's very direct straight talk and I think that's what New Hampshire voters will respond to."

Edwards, who has developed a campaign message around getting the influence of lobbyists out of Washington, D.C., will expand his message Monday afternoon in a major speech in Manchester, N.H.
