Have you seen this one: Edwards Attacks Front-Runner Kerry Monday, 01-Mar-2004 2:50AM Story from AP / NEDRA PICKLER Fighting against time, John Edwards sharply attacked front-runner John Kerry as a Washington practitioner of politics as usual. The North Carolina senator abandoned his mostly congenial style in a Democratic debate Sunday in New York -- a mostly two-way faceoff that had contenders Dennis Kucinich and Al Sharpton grousing about too little airtime. Edwards hopes to score multiple victories there to keep his candidacy alive until March 9, when four Southern states vote. But on Sunday, his aim was to sharpen differences between himself and Kerry, who has won 18 of 20 delegate-selection contests so far. Edwards has won only in his native South Carolina. In his harshest criticism yet of the front-runner, Edwards charged that Kerry had voted for bad trade agreements and that his proposals on a range of issues, including health care, would "drive us deeper and deeper into deficit." Edwards rejected the suggestion that he was angling to become vice president. "Oh, no. Oh, no, no. Far from it," he said. When Kerry said that he and Edwards had the same position on trade, Edwards ticked off a list of agreements where they differed -- pacts with Singapore, Chile, Africa and the Caribbean that Kerry voted for and he opposed. When Kerry said he would have a 120-day review of all trade agreements, Edwards said that would be of little comfort to the jobless. "Don't worry, we've got a Washington committee that's studying this for you," Edwards mocked.
