Edwards Not Seeking Re-Election

By Byron LaMasters

This is shocking. I think that Edwards has a shot at the nomination, but its quite a stretch at best. I blogged on it the other day. I can't understand why he'd give up the chance to run in 2008 or 2012 by leaving the senate. Then again, he may have some internal polls regarding his ads that we don't know about, or he might do what politicians do best. Change his mind.

Regardless, if Edwards decision sticks, this race will be a Burr vs. Bowles race. Should be a toss-up.
