Edwards to Officially Drop

Edwards has just announced that he will officially drop the race today in New Orleans.

I remember four years ago - I wasn't quite 18, and highly distraught that I could not vote. Wasn't Edwards the new, young, and hip candidate? Wasn't he compared to JFK? Wasn't he the one who symbolized change? - Four years ago he was that candidate - but this time around that title was taken by the young, charming, and inspirational Obama.

So where does this leave Edwards? With all the headline news about Hillary and Obama - Edwards was forgotten. With no wins so far (and one of the states being his native state) - Edwards was bound to drop.

So whats he doing now? He is said to still be pushing for the socioeconomically disadvantaged. He is predicted to still run a great campaign in SOC 118.

*EDIT*: I just received an email from Edwards himself - this is his quoted statement
“Besides what has happened in New Orleans, I will remain a contender in the California Primary in order to remind the nation’s most populous state of the vital issues we as a nation must address in the times ahead. California and the spirit boldly embedded in the Golden State’s active and progressive citizenry must remain on the forefront of national change and Democratic engagement. Poverty, Universal Healthcare, Global Warming, education, etc., must be a significant catalyst for dialogue and civic participation in this election process and I intend full well to remain vocal even until Super Tuesday”
