Edwards is out!

CNN is reporting that presidential candidate and persistent 5% of the votes-getter John Edwards is going to exit the race today. He is not expected to endorse anyone.

This will finally bring down the Democratic contest to a two-person race (sorry, Mike Gravel, you don't count), and may make Super Tuesday provide us with a more clear outcome. We appear to be down to 2 on both sides now (John MCain and Mitt Romney, sorry Ron Paul) which is likely to polarize the parties and start people focussing on the general election.
