Mark Halperin with Time's "The Page" recently obtained a transcript and an audio recording of a negative robocall from the Clinton campaign against John Edwards. The transcript is listed below along with a link to "The Page" for the audio feed of the robocall.
Voice: Hello, This is the Hillary Clinton for President Campaign.
Before you vote on Saturday, you should know that John Edwards voted for permanent trade relations with China. That’s right, John Edwards voted for the bill that cost thousands of jobs. Like the ones in the textile mills he talks about so much down here.
You should also know that John Edwards made nearly a half a million dollars working for a Wall Street investment fund. A fund that’s been profiting on foreclosing on the homes of families; including 100 homes right here in South Carolina. That’s according to The State newspaper. Here in South Carolina, Edwards says he’s one of us, but up on Wall Street he was just another one of them.
Can you trust John Edwards? This call is paid for by the Hillary Clinton for President Campaign.

It's clear that John Edwards is taking votes away from Hillary Clinton, which may have prompted the negative robocalls from here. It's possible that Edwards might place second here, and a third-place finish won't be spun well for her in the media. I may be an Obama supporter, but I sincerely hope that Edwards places second because I think his voice should be heard past the contest in South Carolina.
