Edwards Set To Drop Out of The Race

By: Jamie Puccetti


John Edwards is going to announce he is dropping out of the presidential race today. The press conference is set to take place in New Orleans where he announced his candidacy. The conference will begin at 1pm ET. Edwards has never really been able to make a name for himself. His competition Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama have dominated in the polls, debates, and news.

Now the question is...who will he endorse?? Edwards made separate phone calls to both Clinton and Obama encouraging them to talk more about poverty but will they listen to get his endorsement? It has been known that Clinton has reached out numerous times to Edwards while Obama hasn't. Will this end up hurting Obama in the end? We'll have to wait it out and see but it looks like Edwards finally has some power over Clinton and Obama.
