Thanks for getting your message out John. It's too bad you couldn't have stayed in longer.
Edwards is dropping out
"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 reports.
The wire service says "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. ET 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."
Update at 9:18 a.m. ET: A source within the Edwards campaign with direct knowledge of the candidate's plans has confirmed for us that the AP report is correct.
Update at 9:30 a.m. ET: ABC News' Political Radar blog writes that "news of a decision to drop out of the race ends speculation that Edwards was aiming to be a kingmaker at the convention by collecting a significant amount of delegates to be able to have a say in who would become his party's nominee. ... Edwards has not publicly said who he will throw his support behind, though he has had private conversations with both Clinton and Obama in recent days."
Edwards has at least 26 delegates for the Democratic National Convention. It takes 2,025 to get the party's nomination.
Update at 9:40 a.m. ET: No endorsement expected:
The AP adds that, "the former North Carolina senator will not immediately endorse either candidate in what is now a two-person race for the Democratic nomination, said one adviser, who spoke on condition of anonymity in advance of the announcement." USA TODAY's Kathy Kiely reports she also has been told that by a campaign aide with knowledge of what Edwards will do.
GObama?

There goes our last real hope. According to the MSM it was always a two person race. Too bad they chose our candidates for us. Any right-winger want to offer me a one-way ticket to France? Love it or leave it?
