John Edwards dropped out of the race today, and that's too bad. Although I probably was going to vote for Obama, I enjoyed having Edwards in the race. He spoke with such passion, such heart that it's a shame that his campaign got ignored mostly because the primaries have been covered by the media more as a horse race than an exploration of the issues. The media has gone for the story of Obama vs. Clinton and saw no room for Edwards in their story.
I'm glad that he dropped out only after he got promises from the other candidates that ending poverty will be a major goal of their administrations if they win.
