The breaking news on the blogosphere is that John Edwards is going to suspend his campaign, and may drop out of the 2008 Presidential race. Edwards and his wife are planning a 12:00 noon press conference to discuss the latest developments. Yesterday, Edwards canceled a campaign event to accompany his wife on a doctor’s visit. Mrs. Edwards was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, around the time of the presidential election.
This is shaping up to be a sad story. And what makes it worse is that someone who isn’t so consumed by power and politics that he may be willing to drop out of a presidential race to be with his wife…now that’s someone who I wouldn’t mind seeing in office…
Update 1: The campaign will go on, despite a recurrence of Edward’s wife cancer. (I guess I take back what I just said?)
Update 2: Ben Smith, the author of the initial blog who has a source close to the Edwards campaign, has since apologized for stating that his campaign was to be suspended…See, don’t blame me, blame him!
