(AP) - TITLE: 'Born For.'
LENGTH: 30 seconds.
AIRING: New Hampshire.
SCRIPT: John Edwards: 'I'm John Edwards and I approve this message. For 25 years, corporate greed has gotten its way in Washington, destroying American jobs and the middle class while the establishment did nothing. Insurance lobbyists killed health care. Energy giants make billions from insane gas prices. And more jobs were lost. As much as we like to think so, good intentions won't change a thing. Corporate greed won't be stopped without a president who fights for you. Saving the middle class will be an epic battle, and that's a fight I was born for.'
KEY IMAGES: Other than a brief opening photo of Edwards, the only image is of the Democratic presidential candidate speaking directly to the camera. Edwards is wearing a plain black sports jacket, white shirt, blue tie and lapel pin. He's seated in front of windows with sheer, white curtains. The stark background draws viewer attention to the candidate's face.
ANALYSIS: The ad is consistent with the former North Carolina senator and trail lawyer's populist campaign theme: that he will oppose rich, powerful corporations to improve the lot of ordinary Americans.
