[RickM]

Wonder who he'll endorse.

"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 voters' sympathies but never diverted his campaign, The Associated Press has learned."

Hillary made him a deal, bank it.

Hillary/Edwards (twat/douche)

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Perhaps McCain will follow suit (ala J. Kerry) and offer him his VP slot?

Washington = We are all just kissin' cousins boys!

I'm hearing endorsements/delegates to Obama, Attorney General to Edwards.

He will be dearly missed.

Truly a shame. The American people deserve hair like that in the White House. We've struggled through decades of unkempt salt'n'pepper locks.

There's still Romney.

MHO this will hurt Billary. As an "anybody but Clinton" candidate, he and Obama split the "no more Clintons" vote.

I suspect most of that vote, especially after the Bill Clinton tantrums and brief glance into the Clinton Hate Machine in South Carolina, will go Obama's way.

I doubt Obama would pick Edwards as a VP candidate, but for Clinton to do so would be foolish.

I've been hoping for Obama/Edwards all along.

I was hoping for a Kucinich (P)/Paul (VP) ticket.

Best,

Something tells me that my first book (hitting stores in fall 2008) will cause a lot of trouble on this board...

I hope he spent a lot of his personal money on the campaign. I have nothing against personal injury lawyers per se, but he made millions suing ob/gyns and convincing the stupid jurors that the doctor was a fault for birth defects and genetic defects.

Split-end city. Only Breck Girl, err Mr. Edwards, has the hair to rebuild this country's standing in the international community and balance our budget.
