Creston, Ia. -- It would be surprising enough if Marcia Fulton was willing to get up in the middle of the night to go listen to her favorite presidential candidate. Or even her second-favorite presidential candidate. But here she was, at 2:15 a.m. today, sitting on a couch in someone else's Creston home, waiting for the arrival of her third-favorite presidential candidate.A few minutes later, the front door opened, and in came John Edwards and his wife, Elizabeth, who were midway through a frantic, 36-hour campaign trek across Iowa.
The marathon trip is similar to one Democrat John Kerry made right before the 2004 caucuses, which he wound up winning. The events drew from 500 in Ames to a few dozen at homes Edwards visited in the wee hours.At a 5:15 a.m. stop at a Centerville home, a heavenly, sweet aroma greeted the trekkers. A lady holding open the door looked at a local man who'd just climbed up the front stairs. "You'd do anything for a cinnamon roll, wouldn't you?" she joked.

Edwards would not be so bad.
