Leaders to discuss why Edwards is the best candidate to lead Democrats to victory in 2008, both in Georgia and across the nation

Atlanta, Georgia – On Thursday, October 18th at 3:00 p.m. ET, Democratic Party leaders from all levels of state and local government will gather on the steps of the State Capitol to discuss their endorsement of John Edwards for president. The leaders will also take questions from the media, following their remarks.

“John Edwards is the only candidate with the vision and leadership needed to win both the primary and the general election,” said former Governor Roy Barnes, who will host the endorsement event. “In states like Georgia, having Edwards at the top of the ticket will motivate swing voters, ensuring Democrats maintain and expand our majorities in Congress and leading Democrats to victory in races at the state and local level as well.”
