John Edwards to drop out of the race.

I shouldn’t be surprised given that he’s been coming in 3rd consistently since Iowa and he just lost the state he was born in to Obama. I shouldn’t be surprised, yet I am. I had been hearing that John was going to stay in until the Democratic Convention in Iowa. It was clear that John wasn’t going to be the next President, but it seemed as though he was angling for a VP slot again. Rumors suggest that he recently attempted to make a deal with the Obama campaign in the backrooms but was turned away when the Clinton campaign approached him. He also reportedly called Senator Clinton this morning to tell her that he was dropping out. It’s unknown who and if Edwards is going to endorse anyone, but I could see it going either way. If Edwards is truly committed to ‘change’(though, who isn’t now a days) he’ll endorse Obama, but if he’s motivated by personal reasons he’ll endorse Senator Clinton. He is expected to officially withdraw in New Orleans at 10 am PST.
