Report: Edwards To Drop

There are reports that John Edwards is going to drop out of the race. I like Edwards. I voted for him in the 2004 primary even though the race was all but over by the time Illinois got its turn in March. I wasn't backing him this time because I'm most definitely an Obamaniac. Still, if Edwards had been the nominee I would have been happy with him.

Still, the timing on this seems strange. He's dropping after a Florida vote that didn't matter for Democrats. (All their delegates were taken away becaues they held their primary too early.) I assume it's a money issue. Arguable it could be that he got soundly beat in South Carolina, his home state. But why wait until now?
