Quote :

"Former Senator John Edwards, D-N.C., will drop out of the Democratic presidential race on Wednesday. "It just became clear it wasn't going to happen," a senior Edwards adviser tells ABC News' Rick Klein. Edwards, who ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination in 2004 before joining Senator John Kerry, D-Mass., as his vice presidential candidate, had placed poorly in several early contests, lagging behind rivals Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. The former senator will end his bid during a speech on poverty in New Orleans, where he began his White House campaign in December 2006. His family — including wife Elizabeth, who is battling a recurrence of cancer and has been absent from the campaign trail since New Hampshire — is expected to be present. His announcement today will focus on what he feels is the "cause of his life"-- eradicating poverty and giving voice to causes that go unheard. "

1/30/2008 10:52:24 AM

he is neither black nor a woman if i were him id wash my hands of this whole mess

1/30/2008 10:53:50 AM

he's not black if that's what you're referring to...

1/30/2008 10:54:45 AM

pretty sure he'd back obama before clinton...shit even that kennedy dude backed obama

1/30/2008 10:56:07 AM

IF he backs anyone, I'd expect that it would be Obama since their views are a lot more similar than Hillary's.

1/30/2008 10:57:25 AM

you mean whoever gives him the best chance at VP?

1/30/2008 11:00:59 AM

I hear he's going to go back to his home in Chapel Hill and continue to pretend he is poor and that he never went to NCSU.

1/30/2008 11:02:28 AM

pretty sure obama gives him the best shot at vp also

1/30/2008 11:03:54 AM

^^lol, gg.

1/30/2008 11:04:48 AM

i really wish this country would get it together and hold all the primaries at the same time, so we could actually have a part in them. not that im sad edwards dropped, or that i was gonna support him. it just sucks for the whole process.

it also sucks that these jackasses drop millions into 3 states and then give up. they should give his old supporters another vote since he wasted theirs.

if you wanna run for president, fucking run for it. i hate politics

1/30/2008 11:08:22 AM

This is terrible terrible terrible

Who's going to soak up half the racist vote now

Edwards would be wise to not endorse either candidate. He would be a good choice for either as VP.

1/30/2008 11:42:21 AM

didn't even know he was running

1/30/2008 11:43:42 AM

you missed the opportunity for "edwards pulling out"

1/30/2008 12:00:39 PM

i don't generally give a rat's ass about politics but i fucking hate edwards

1/30/2008 12:01:00 PM

didn't he already win the biggest douche in the universe award?

1/30/2008 12:09:58 PM

now Edwards will have more free time on his hands to harass his neighbor
