John Edwards In Springfield on Labor Day; Will Hold Fundraiser for McCaskill

Former U.S. Senator and possible 2008 presidential candidate John Edwards will be in Springfield this Labor Day to march in the parade and hold a fundraiser for Claire McCaskill.

According to local Democrats, Edwards was invited by local labor leaders. "He'll be here to meet with the working men and women of the area," said Democratic strategist Nora Walcott.

McCaskill attended Springfield's Labor Day parade last year and her campaign spokeswoman says she'll be marching again this year.

Adrianne Marsh also confirmed that following the 2 p.m. parade on Sept. 4th, McCaskill will attend a fundraiser being held by John Edwards.
