AP: Edwards dropping out

Kind of a shock at this point, and decreases chances the fight will go to the convention: "Democrat John Edwards is exiting the presidential race Wednesday, ending a scrappy underdog bid in which he steered his rivals toward progressive ideals while grappling with family hardship that roused voters' sympathies but never diverted his campaign, The Associated Press has learned."

In other momentous news, the Wall Street Journal reports that Arlo Guthie has endorsed...Ron Paul, stating, “I love this guy....Dr. Paul is the only candidate I know of who would have signed the Constitution of the United States had he been there.”
