You may have been #3 in the Primary race, Mr. Edwards, but you were the #1 Primary statesman. Thank you for bringing a sense of dignity to the race, and especially, to the debates. Please reconsider a VP spot--you'd be great paired with Obama.

Here's hoping he throws his support behind Obama, the only realistic candidate for President who will actually win.

I hope for the sake of this great nation that he does not endorse Hillary or Bill for that matter!!! I hope he realized that in order to win in November we must elect someone who can bring all sides to the table. We as a democratic party must stand by the candidated who has the ability to win. Im A John supported who will now vote for Obama...I hope all of you who supported John now start supporting Obama..Lets go out and out vote....McCain.

I'm sorry to hear that John Edwards is dropping out of the race. I don't remember when I last had someome like him to believe in. I don't know where to put my support now. Neither of the remaining two candidate inspire me as he does. I will watch with interest what he does in the future.

I'm sorry to see him drop out, but, hopefully, this will propel all of the anti-Billary voters to swing to the Obama camp! Somehow I think that he will be the VP, as he and Obama seemed to have a great deal of respect for one another! I think that he is unselfish and has sacrificed his running until the convention in order to remove any doubt that Obama is the best person to unite this country once again. Billary would NEVER be able to get anything done! I would vote for McCain before voting for that tyrant wannabe witch!

Richard at Memphis made a good point!

I feel my voice is being muted. Neither Hillary or Obama speak for me. John in 2004 and now, has been the only candidate that understands the working class poor. We are losing a champion for our cause.

Figures, as usual in the US money buy media and elections, you don't need to be the best candidate or have th best vision. All you need is the machine or big slogans and empty promises.
I was supporting Edwards; but will never support Hillary, much less Obama.

It goes to show that anyone who is honest and tells the truth but doesn't have tons of money gathered from corrupt corporations and lobbyists can't even get heard in a country that is so stupid and apathetic that it just lets election fraud and corruption reign unchecked. People with good ideas and who tell the truth are ignored, while thugs, charlatans and thieves are exhalted by our most enlightened and intellectual electorate.

This truly is a sad day and this is one candidate I really wanted to win, but, well, some things went against him. He is running against very good candidates and well, he seems to nice for politics. I would actually like him to back Obama and become Vice President, that would be awesome. He was one of those really genuine people and well, one good news though, when you compare him with any of those in GOP other than McCain, he looks so much better, but, in his own party, he doesn't come as the best for some reason and lacks mass appeal..He is my favorite though and well, lets see what happens..Earlier I was for Obama/Edwards/McCain as President, now, I am for Obama/McCain as President

I'm hoping Edwards will join Barack and become his Vice President. This will be a powerful team. And if he does not, I'm hoping Al Gore will.

John Edwards ran a great campaign and I hope that his message continues to be heard as the election process continues. By not endorsing a candidate before Super Tuesday, he will leave it up to the Democratic voters to decide who they support instead of playing to the media spectacle that any endorsement would bring. Good for you John.

This is a toss up of who he will endorse. Hillary has the same health care plan as Edwards but she is also much more the Washington insider that Edwards that takes money from lobbyists that he is against. Obama needs his endorsement more than Hillary to make this a closer race. I am confident Hillary would have won with Edwards still in the race as evidenced by Florida's numbers.

The Dems just lost 08. They never learn not to waste their votes on unelectable candidates.

A couple of years ago, when Repubs were trashing McCain and saying that he was a complete moron for criticizing Bush, I predicted that McCain and Hillary would be the 2 nominees in 08 and that McCain would win. I may turn out to be wrong about Hillary getting the nomination, but in any event, the Dems have blown the next 8 years just like those idiots who voted for Nader blew the last 8.

Thank god, hes quiting. go get em Hillary:)!!!!!

Well, I supported Edwards with money and my vote, but the latter won't happen. However, that being said, my next choice his Hillary. I like Obama, but I also like my pastor, but I wouldn't vote for him because he inspires me. I want the candidate who has been vetted, who has been checked inside and out; this is Hillary. I know what I am getting. Obama is seems nice, he seems bright, he seems to know how to talk.... but that is a problem, he only "seems." The GOP right will love to get him once he is out in the open. Do we know him? What has the media investigated? Have they been too nice to him? HAD HE BEEN VETTED? My vote is for Hillary. Sorry to see John go :(

This is amazing...the news is about Edwards and people here are posting about Obama and Clinton?! No wonder he dropped out.

I do find integrity in his dropping out and not placing himself in the position of "King Maker" which would have made him look manipulative and slimy. I also wonder if this has something to do with his wife's health. I would feel really bad about this.

I was a little disappointed in him at that New Hampshire debate when he ganged up with Obama against Clinton (because Obama needed the help). But later on he gave both of them a lot of criticism. He has earned my respect. He was a good candidate, it was just that the other two had too much power behind them. Not to diminish Clinton's clout but Obama's press coverage which has been measured has been extraordinary. Yesterday Edwards was barely mentioned in the press or coverage of the primaries.

I hope whoever wins gives him a good position in government. Attorney General sounds good.

I also hope he stays in the sidelines and endorses no one. It would make him look really bad if he does...REALLY BAD

John was a great competitor, but here's hoping to an Obama endorsement! I also think he'd make a great VP as well!

I AM SOORY TO SEE americans squable on the obvious. It is clear that Obama will bring this great nation to its former status. I hope senator Edwards endorses Obama and save this nation

Poor John will now have to go back to frivolous law suits against corportions to pay for his haircuts and another addition on the house.
