SAN FRANCISCO — Democrat John Edwards Wednesday became the latest presidential hopeful to use Silicon Valley as the backdrop to present a plan for the future of science and technology in the U.S.

Edwards, the Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2004, followed fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican John McCain in presenting a science and technology plan during an appearance before the Silicon Valley Leadership Group.

Edwards’ plan contains many similar elements to those of Clinton and McCain.

All three candidates favor expanding the H1B visa program to allow Valley companies to hire more foreign engineers and programmers.
