Edwards Out

Posted by Moonage on 30 Jan 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

Given Rudy’s flop in Florida, I fully expected him to give up.  However, given Edwards’ usual tenacity in the face of obvious defeat, I fully expected him to ride the entire race out, even if he didn’t do so well in the polls.  The reason being I never thought he had a chance to win this one given the dynamics of facing two unique candidates.  So, I will admit I am surprised he is bowing out this early.  I figured his game was to garner a certain amount of delegates in order to have a carrot come nomination day for a major position within the next administration.  As close as the race between Obama and Clinton is shaping up to be, possibly, he could have had a major impact on the nomination itself.  Apparently I was wrong.  He’s out as of today.  I’m not sure why, and I’m sure his resignation speeches won’t say exactly why as no one ever does.  I’ll be a lot more interested in who he endorses than Rudy’s endorsement, only because I fully expected Rudy to endorse McCain and he did.  I really have no clue who, if anyone, Edwards might back.  Although he couldn’t win the primaries, his 10% to 15% constituency could swing this thing.  I gotta admit, this one does surprise me.
