This is a really good interview with Edwards from last January. It's the entire interview with Bob Edwards, exerpts from which were broadcast on Morning Edition as part of a series of interviews which each of the candidates.

I think they did Edwards's first was because they didn't think people would be paying attention (and, interestingly, Edwards had his best fundraising quarter in the quarter in which this interview was broadcast).

So, give it a listen.

The Candidates: Sen. John Edwards
From the Courtroom to the Senate, and Now a White House Run

Jan. 30, 2003 -- Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina let it be known in January that he would seek the Democratic nomination for president. In the first of a series of interviews with White House candidates, NPR's Bob Edwards sat down with the 49-year-old former trial lawyer to talk about his campaign and the issues that define his candidacy.

Sen. Edwards is casting a wider net just four years into his initial six-year term in the Senate. He cites a working-class upbringing, touting himself as the candidate for "regular people," though 20 years as a trial lawyer made him a millionaire. He says he is campaigning for "economic, education and health care programs that embrace all Americans and give them the opportunity to reach their potential."
