ROCHESTER, N.H. - Voters didn't mind that Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards was running a bit late Sunday — it gave them time to scrutinize the 77-page policy booklet printed by his campaign.

In it, he outlines his vision in four areas: standing up for working families, ending the war in Iraq, building a better future for children and ensuring opportunity for all. But one voter suggested a fifth category: balancing the federal budget.
"We had good time to read your pamphlet while you were flying in. I love everything, but it seems to me that there is a Roman numeral five that might be missing," the woman said. "I worry that with you as the candidate, the other side would paint you as a typical way-out on the left, tax-and-spend liberal."
