John Edwards popped into St. Paul Tuesday night for a union hall campaign rally ahead of Tuesday's caucus. Here's this morning's coverage: +> Edwards arrived with a "struggling" campaign and a populist message, evoking Paul Wellstone, "celebrity candidates" and saying in a newspaper interview that the media's harping on his campaign woes is "nonsense," the Star Tribune reports. +> Edwards stop in St. Paul wasn't on the front page of the Pioneer Press Web site twincities.com -- or even on the site's politics page -- at 7 a.m. the next day. +> A "full-throated, standing room only" crowd greeted Edwards and, after arriving "glassy-eyed and shivering" left "perspired and energized." The crowd was a mix of young and old and included a heavy dose of union members, Minnesota Public Radio reported in its web site story. +> During the stop, Edwards "tried to energize" his campaign with a message to union members and other supporters that he would "put their interests ... above the rich," The Associated Press passes along. As with the other two stories, the Wellstone mention was brought up in the first handful of paragraphs.
