Edwards Departure Insures Historic Presidential Contest


The Associated Press is reporting that former Senator John Edwards is dropping out of the Democratic 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 voters' sympathies, The Associated Press has learned.
Edwards departure insures this will be a historic presidential contest, as Democrats decide between the first woman and first African American candidates.

His departure may also make it more likely that one of the two remaining candidates will head for the convention with enough delegates to secure the nomination.

Edwards ran a good and heartfelt race, and who hasn't fallen in love with Elizabeth Edwards and the courage she has displayed. I wish Edwards and his family all the best.
