Newt Gingrich Challenges Edwards on Poverty

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich challenged John Edwards to a debate on "how to help the poor," while making a tour through North Carolina the other day. Gingrich said that he'd be delighted to have a dialogue with Edwards on how to truly help the poor, as opposed to merely "talking about helping the poor."

Somehow Gingrich's idea of helping the poor didn't work when he was one of the most powerful men in Washington.
