Wide shot of delegates cheering\u003cbr/\u003eIn an acceptance speech a day before he officially gets the US vice presidential nomination, John Edwards made his first appearance before the Democratic Convention as John Kerry's right hand man on Wednesday. \u003cbr/\u003eFollowing an introduction speech given by his wife, Elizabeth, the North Carolina Senator walked on stage to a roaring, energised crowd.\u003cbr/\u003eEdwards saluted his running mate as \"decisive\" and strong,\" and described John Kerry as a man tested under enemy fire and ready to fight the war on terrorism.\u003cbr/\u003eHoping to prevent the Bush campaign from owning the issue of national security, Edwards insisted a Kerry administration would \"always use American military might to keep the nation safe\". \u003cbr/\u003eIn his prepared remarks, Edwards spoke of US veterans who have served and were wounded in Iraq, and said they deserve a president who understood on \"the most personal level\" what they'd gone through.  \u003cbr/\u003eCalling on themes that sustained his own candidacy for president during the primaries, Edwards said he and Kerry would end an era in which there were \"two different Americas\". \u003cbr/\u003eEdwards accused Republicans of waging a campaign based on \"relentless negative attacks\" and said the country had the power to reject it.\u003cbr/\u003eEdwards had his turn at the podium a few hours after Kerry campaigned his way to the convention city and into the eager embrace of his Vietnam War crewmates. \u003cbr/\u003eAt the end of the third day of the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night, delegates held a state-by-state roll call to formally endorse John Kerry as their presidential candidate.\u003cbr/\u003eKerry's speech on Thursday will mark the finale of a unified party convention but also the start of a bruising, closely contested autumn campaign to wrest the White House from President Bush.\u003cbr/\u003eOpinion polls show the country divided over key national security issues like the war in Iraq, with Bush favoured over Kerry when it comes to waging war on terrorism. \u003cbr/\u003eMost polls show a close race for the White House, with Kerry either tied or slightly ahead.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
