Edwards dropped out of the race to get VP nod?

I’m def­i­nitely no polit­i­cal junky, and I’ve def­i­nitely watched too mutch West Wing but some­thing hit me while watch­ing an Onion Tivo­Cast about John Edwards in New Hampshire.

(Okay my Tivo watch­list has a ten­dency to pile up, so sue me…)

Anyway, I’m think­ing that John Edwards bowed out of the race, ear­lier than expected, in an attempt to guar­an­tee a Vice Pres­i­den­tial spot on the ticket.

• He cam­paigned on issues and didn’t get into mud­sling­ing about his other Demo­c­ra­tic nom­i­nees so there’s no bad blood
• He can bring youth and being a man (sad that some voters will require this) to Clinton’s cam­paign if she gets the nomination
• He can rein­force the youth­ful image Obama is going for, and bring white­ness (again, sad that some voters will require this).
• And no matter what, he can rep­re­sent the South for either campaign

But, what do I do know…
