John Edwards to withdraw from prez race?
Possibly on account of his wife's health. He's called a press conference for today in Chapel Hill. She's been battling cancer since the 2004 elections.
Update at 1030 CDT from Politico.com --
John Edwards is suspending his campaign for President, and may drop out completely, because his wife has suffered a recurrence of the cancer that sickened her in 2004, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, an Edwards friend told The Politico.

"At a minimum he's going to suspend" the campaign, the source said. "Nobody knows precisely how serious her recurrence is. It’ll be another couple of days before there’s complete clarity."

"For him right now he has one priority which is her health and the security of the two young children," said the friend.

As for the campaign, "You don't shut this machine off completely, but everything will go on hold."
Condolences to Mrs. Edwards and her family. This is a tough road, and I hope the oncologists can help her.
