Now they are hoping that Edwards will be a crossover success, uniting those more moderate suburbanites with a good chunk of the rural conservatives whose background he shares. "I know 'em like the back of my hand," he says. Sensing trouble, Faircloth is hard on the attack, labeling the other guy a money-hungry trial lawyer whose life's work has driven up the cost of health care across the state. At the same time, he is furiously trying to neutralize Edwards' message by co-opting not just HMO reform but also other...
