New "Thanksgiving" spot to air in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina

Chapel Hill, North Carolina – Today, as American families begin to gather together to celebrate Thanksgiving, the John Edwards for President campaign announced a new television spot, entitled "Thanksgiving," which will go up on the air Wednesday in three early primary states.

In the 30-second spot, which will run in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, Edwards tells voters what he is most thankful for – a loving family and the promise of America, "a nation filled with the most optimistic people on Earth." Edwards also delivers a personal message of thanks to the thousands of people he and Elizabeth have met on the campaign trail this year who have welcomed the Edwardses into their "homes and hearts." A full transcript of the spot is included below and the full spot can be viewed here: http://jre.gigliwood.com/watch/thanksgiving.

Full Transcript of "Thanksgiving:"

For two parents who worked so hard to give us a better life.

For thirty years with one amazing woman.

And for four wonderful children.

For 231 years of America.

For the hopes and determination of a nation filled with the most optimistic people on Earth.

And for all of you, who have welcomed us into your homes and hearts.

Thank you.

I'm John Edwards, and I approved this message.
