MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards said Friday that he has the credentials to win in the South and is the best candidate when it comes to dealing directly with the region's problems.

"I've proven I can win in the South, that's how I was elected to the United States Senate," Edwards said as he campaigned for the third day this week in this early primary state.

"I have the clearest, most specific agenda on the issues that affect people in the South - a universal health care plan, ending this war in Iraq and doing what's necessary to strengthen the middle class," said Edwards, a South Carolina native.==

==Edwards later headed across town for a fundraiser and then to Columbia to meet with college Democrats. There, he told an enthusiastic crowd of students that a recent spat between Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama needs to end.

"The last thing we need is to be attacking each other," Edwards said.==
