Edward to Drop Out of Race ~ Bye Bye
Edwards to quit presidential race
Democrat John Edwards is exiting the presidential race Wednesday, ending a scrappy underdog bid in which he steered his rivals toward progressive ideals while grappling with family hardship that roused voter's sympathies but never diverted his campaign, The Associated Press has learned.
The two-time White House candidate notified a close circle of senior advisers that he planned to make the announcement at a 1 p.m. EST event in New Orleans that had been billed as a speech on poverty, according to two of his advisers. The decision came after Edwards lost the four states to hold nominating contests so far to rivals who stole the spotlight from the beginning — Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

He blew it a long time ago with his ad about
taking away the health insurance of the house
and senate if they didn't pass Universal
Health care by a certain date. Politicians
don't like to be messed with.
They will take you down.

Lynn, I had forgotten all about that. Thank you Lynn, gosh no wonder they don't like him. He threatened them.

Not so quick with the Bye Bye. John Edwards is negotiating with both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to trade his support for becoming VP or Attorney General. Whoever gives him the best deal gets his support. Either way, we lose double if they take him up on it. More of Washington politics at it's best/worse.

Still waiting for this phony Robin Hood to give up his $400 haircuts and accept a few street people in his NC mansion! Goodbye Opee Edwards!!
I hear Nifong needs a crony lawyer these days?
