Listening to the speculation- he may throw his support to Obama...
And endorse McCain?
What a whimp
All 10 of them.
So, in the Dog and Pony Show, the pretty pony drops out.
That leaves the dogs.
Buhbye, thanks for playing.
David Letterman messing up his hair on TV was the last straw.
The Breck Girl bows out...
What is he up to???
(vp slot)
Wow...couldn’t happen to a nicer ‘girl’.
Wow... just wow...
I started to giggle, but then . . . . . .
I saw a clip of that- Letterman is really unbelievable, isn’t he?
You're bad.
"I will not take the low road to the highest office in the land. I want the presidency in the best way, not the worst way." John McCain - Feb 2000. Before robo-polling.
Gets pretty bad when an ambulance chasing lawyer, who has to make a living spreading it around figures it is to ‘dirty’ to be playing...
So...the dems will have “a two man race.”
LOL!

Time to get the passport and visa and get the hell out.
eww, do I have to click on it to read the Dems rant?
Slumming with the “other” America must have gotten to him. Now he can relax on his mega estate and enjoy the privileges of his trial attorney fortune.
I’m betting on AG
So the Dems’ only female candidate just dropped out?
That’s what makes it so ironic, eh?
LOL!
Bargaining chip to run for VP???
With HRC or BHO?
I instinctively laughed but then I thought about it. He and McAmnesty do have a lot in common.
They’re both for amnesty
They’re both against tax cuts
They both hate conservatives
They both have been asked to be VP by the Dem nominee
Maybe he WILL endorse McAmnesty!
No- I think Edwards would be bad for an Obama ticket- my fear is he wants AG...
Damn, I’m going to miss that hair.
Time to go back to chasing ambulances and putting doctors out of business(the Edwards version of a "health-care plan" you know)
not sure yet
Good,
Now the puke lawyer can get back to screwing baby doctors.
Well, these trial lawyers used to, still do, take on really high profile, ugly cases for no money to get in the papers and make a name for themselves, knowing that it will mean mucho mas dinero later on down the line. Edwards has managed to do that for himself in politics. Still though, has to be hard for him, dude has spent the last six years campaigning.
I believe this is also Hucklebee’s motivation. He was never going to be president, but now he’s a household name.
After last night in our state- I’m happy to have a momentary distraction:)
He will be Obama’s running mate.
Just think, Obama and Hillary will get more screech time in the debates.
Will he endorse McCain?
This will be a huge financial loss to his traveling hairdresser.
How many people will lose their jobs?
Will he pay their healthcare untill they find a job?
Severence pay?
Atleast there was someone nice to look at in the Dem party.
Announcement to come between 1-1:30 in NOLA
Obama just got stronger.
Hillary just got weaker.
Interesting that the guy included a visa. That means he/she doesn't consider Mexico, Canada, or the like as a safe haven. Its more like Cuba, China, North Korea, VietNam is the destination.
Will he bring his shovel like he did for his announcement? Will McAmnesty be with him?
DENVER — 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.
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 a condition of anonymity in advance of the announcement.
Edwards waged a spirited top-tier campaign against the two better-funded rivals, even as he dealt with the stunning blow of his wife’s recurring cancer diagnosis. In a dramatic news conference last March, the couple announced that the breast cancer that she thought Their decision sparked a debate about family duty and public service. But Elizabeth Edwards remained a forceful advocate for her husband, and she was often surrounded at campaign events by well-wishers and emotional survivors cheering her on.
Edwards planned to announce his campaign was ending with his wife and three children at his side. Then he planned to work with Habitat for Humanity at the volunteer-fueled rebuilding project Musicians’ Village, the adviser said.

I heard that John Ritter is going to play John Edwards in a TV bio pic coming out this Fall.
Oh wait, Ritter’s dead isn’t he?
Just like Edwards’ campaign. ;)
