John Edwards' Populist Appeal  
Aired: Wednesday, December 19, 2007 10-11AM ET

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards (AP)
By guest host James Hattori

In 2004, John Edwards was the optimist with the winning smile. Today, the former Senator from North Carolina still flashes that smile, but his combative talk on poverty and big business has remade his image as the Democrats' fiery economic populist.

The message may be working: Running a close third in Iowa, where Edwards has staked his campaign, there's evidence of new momentum.

This hour we talk with him about his fierce brand of populism, and why he thinks it can still carry him to the White House.

This hour, On Point: John Edwards makes his case.
