Edwards to End Presidential Bid

The AP (via the New York Times) is reporting that Edwards will end his Presidential bid. As I analyzed before, he would only stop the run if (a) he ran out of money, (b) his wife died, or (c) he was offered a deal by one of candidates.

Either of these three conditions may be what's going on here. My bet would be on a deal. There were credible rumors that Obama had offered Edwards the Justice Department. I'd be perfectly happy with that.

I do hope Edwards throws his support behind Obama. Although, as we saw in South Carolina, Edwards got the White-Male vote, and it's a question whether that group is more sexist, racist, or apathetic. That is, whether they don't want Hillary more than they don't want Obama more than they don't want to even vote now that the other candidates are so unacceptable to fine KKK standards.
