CNN: “Edwards quitting presidential race“

OK … I expected him to hang in for a bit longer. I guess he’s seeing that maybe he isn’t going to get the VP slot this time around, though.

No surprise that he’s not going to endorse anybody, though. It’s up in the air whether we’re going to see a Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton ticket this time around (I suspect the chances of it being something else are slim). An arrogant, opportunistic power-seeker like Edwards doesn’t want to make the wrong move here and jeopardize his next potential run (and I expect that he will try again either in 2012 or 2016).

I guess it goes without saying that I really dislike this man. As a former North Carolina resident who suffered through his term as our senator wherein he did little except campaign for his first attempt at capturing the Democratic nomination for president (”What? Me? Show up and vote?”) I actually am semi-qualified to comment.
