From Times Wire Reports
Former Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards jumped into the presidential race a day earlier than planned after an Internet glitch prodded him to launch his candidacy, which is focused on healthcare, taxes and other domestic issues.
The North Carolina Democrat’s campaign accidentally went live with his election website a day before an announcement scheduled for today in New Orleans.
The slip-up gave unintended meaning to Edwards’ campaign slogan, “Tomorrow begins today.”
