"In every instance we see an American people who are good, decent, compassionate and undeterred. And, American people who are better than the government that is supposed to serve and represent them. And what has happened to the American 'can do' spirit? I will tell you what has happened: all of this is the result of the bitter poisoned fruit of corruption and the bankruptcy of our political leadership."
- John Edwards, U.S. Presidential Candidate, from a speech at St. Anselm's College, Manchester, New Hampshire, 29 Oct 2007
