Did Edwards add to the race? Are you sorry he’s out?
The reports are out: Former Sen. John Edwards is dropping out of the race for the Democratic nomination for president. Unable to win any of the primary states up to this point, finishing far behind in Florida, and likely running out of money, he’s gone as of noon today (St. Louis time).
According to the AP story on the subject:
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. Both candidates would welcome Edwards’ backing and the support of the 56 delegates he had collected.
Did Edwards add something to the race, which now comes down to Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama? Are you sorry he’s out? Does it mean anything to the Republican race?
