Two presidential hopefuls, one from each side of the aisle, have launched new television advertisements in Iowa.
Former Sen. John Edwards, a Democratic hopeful, went on the air today with a new ad dubbed "mess" that focuses on his belief that ensuring children a better life is the great moral test of this generation:
"Mess" Transcript
What we want to make certain is true is that our children have a better life than we've had. Twenty generations of Americans before us have ensured that that was true.
And if we want to do that, we're going to have to be willing to take on this corrupt system and change it. And if we're not going to do it, we're going to have to be willing to look our children in the eye and say we're going to leave this mess for you.
This is the great moral test of our generation, and we will meet that test.I'm John Edwards and I approve this message.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Republican hopeful, went up with an ad entitled "believe" that focuses on Huckabee's faith:
"Believe" Transcript
Faith doesn't just influence me, it really defines me. I don't have to wake up every day, wondering, "What do I need to believe?"
Let us never sacrifice our principles for anybody's politics. Not now. Not ever.
I believe life begins at conception.
We believe in some things. We stand by those things. We live or die by those things.
I'm Mike Huckabee and I approve this message.
