John DiStaso of the New Hampshire Union Leader reports that Sen. Edwards portrayed his global anti-poverty initiative as critical to America's national security interests.

The AP's Holly Ramer reports on Sen. Edwards' "audacious plan" to create a cabinet-level position to combat global poverty.

"Edwards presents 'big ideas,'" reads the Concord Monitor headline.

The high-profile ONE Campaign issued a supportive press release on Sen. Edwards' speech.

"'We're proud that Senator Edwards is speaking with New Hampshire voters about America's leadership role in saving lives in Africa and the world's poorest countries,' said ONE New Hampshire Field Organizer Matt Bartlett.

Lynn Sweet writes about Edwards' trip to Chicago to hit the "Dem ATM', mostly from trial lawyers. Although, Chi-Town is Obama turf, there is still a lot of financial support that is up for grab.
