(2008-01-30) -- Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards today quit the
race for the Democrat presidential nomination, and immediately
endorsed Republican frontrunner Sen. John McCain.
"As the presidential field narrows," Sen. Edwards will reportedly say
at an afternoon news conference, "I just didn't feel there would be
room in the race for two white males who favor leniency for illegal
aliens, who opposed Bush's tax cuts for the rich, who fight man-made
global warming, who support limits on so-called free speech in
political campaigns, who have worked to hinder approval of
conservative judicial nominees, and who stand against the Bush
administration's desire to torture terror suspects with
waterboarding."
Mr. Edwards added that, while he's young enough to run for president
10 more times, the septuagenarian Sen. McCain "may have only five or
six more shots at it."
While Mr. Edwards played down speculation that he might bring balance
to the ticket as Sen. McCain's running mate, he noted that it would be
"a once-in-a-lifetime thrill to team up with an actual Vietnam war
hero."
