"We need people in the United States Congress who are going to hold Democrats' feet to the fire so that we do right by the American people. And who aren't going to just follow the party line but make sure that the party line is the right line to follow," Edwards said. "And I know that Chellie Pingree is that kind of stand-up, I've-got-a-little-backbone Democrat. That's why I can't wait until we're sitting next to each other on the floor of the United States Congress."
