ROCK RAPIDS, Iowa - Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said Wednesday that voters should think about who they can most trust when trying to decide between him and his rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama. "Having a great politician is fine," Edwards said. "That's not what America needs right now." He said the most important thing is not a candidate's stance on health care or other issues, but honesty, sincerity and trustworthiness after two terms of President Bush.
"I'm a different candidate," he said during a stop at a volunteer fire station. "The most important thing is to have a president that you trust. Forget politics for a minute. ... What we've seen happen in the last six or seven years is the utter destruction of trust between the president and the American people."

Remember what John has told us: this is an election, not an auction. The people own the White House.
