In April of last year, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was asked why gas prices were surging ever closer to $3 per gallon. She told CNN: “We have two oilmen in the White House … The logical follow-up from that is $3-a-gallon gasoline. It is no accident. It is a cause and effect.”
Barb Jones is a foot soldier in John Edwards’ Iowa political army, one of the people he is counting on to keep his White House bid alive.
A 45-year-old mother of five, Jones is making telephone calls and knocking on doors for Edwards. She recently helped set up a rally in the northwest corner of Iowa, a remote landscape filled with cornfields that borders Minnesota and South Dakota, where Edwards was the first Democratic presidential candidate to venture this year.
