John Edwards To Quit Prez Race


Democrat John Edwards is exiting the presidential race today, ending a campaign in which he was an underdog, but still maintained a respectful campaign and following.

Edwards is expected to make the announcement today at 1 pm in New Orleans, where he was scheduled to give a 'speech on poverty'. The obvious decision came after Edwards lost the four states to hold nominating contests to rivals who stole the spotlight (Clinton and Obama).

This now makes it a 2-person race, with no indication as to who he will endorse. Personally, I liked the guy, in fact, in my personal-poll he was second behind Barack. I would not mind having the guy as a vice-President. His strong ideals and family-oriented mentality is exactly what this country needs. After his speech, Edwards is expected to join Habitat For Humanity, in its efforts to rebuild Musicians' Village in New Orleans...What a winner.
