In a serendipitous publicity photograph, Edwards makes like a real man with a shovel-full of something he may be very familiar with.
Former Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards is running for president for a second time, his campaign said Wednesday.
The former North Carolina senator plans to formally announce his candidacy Thursday from New Orleans' 9th Ward, which was hard hit by Hurricane Katrina. But his campaign got a little ahead of itself Wednesday and announced his intentions online.
"Better a day earlier than a day late," said Jennifer Palmieri, Edwards' adviser.
On the eve of the formal launch of his candidacy, Edwards visited the site of his planned announcement Wednesday for a photo opportunity. He did yard work at the home of Orelia Tyler, 54, whose house was completely gutted by Hurricane Katrina and is close to being rebuilt.

I think Edwards is great but I just don't know what has changed since 2004 except that he is two years older. The more I think about the Dems in 2008, the more I think the nomination is Al Gore's to lose: he was robbed in 2000, has been consistently right on Iraq (unlike Hillary), and will not have a problem with either cash or name recognition... I wrote a story on this at www.minor-ripper.blogspot.com
Oh yea, John Edwards is a real "working man". Here in NC, he never did anything but NOT VOTE and SPEND LOTS AND LOTS OF TIME away from NC politicking with his "friends in high places. The only reason he ran for VP under Gore is because he was well on his way to losing his Senate seat...that's the big secret that we North Carolians are all too familiar with. John Edwards ran as a Conservative, but showed himself to be a very lazy Senator who turned into a total liberal. He makes me sick.
