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.

Anyone else think Edwards already has a deal worked out with Obama for a cabinet position if he wins?

i don't think that's outside of the realm of possibility. though it would be more convincing if edwards had endorsed obama
