No Endorsement Coming From John Edwards
Tuesday, May 6, 2008
Remember John Edwards?
He ran a spirited campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination,
never caught much fire and dropped out of the race about, oh, it feels
like 10 years ago (actually it was January).
The former North Carolina senator has kept a low profile ever since
and has resisted entreaties from the remaining Democrats, Barack Obama
and Hillary Clinton, for his endorsement.
And he is still resisting, as voters cast ballots on Tuesday in his
home state’s Democratic primary election, according to People
Magazine, which tracked down Edwards and his wife, Elizabeth.
Edwards, who was John Kerry’s vice presidential running mate in 2004,
told People he likes Clinton’s “tenacity” but sees “a lot of the old
politics” in her.
He likes Obama, too, but “sometimes I want to see more substance under
the rhetoric.”
Bottom line, according to People, rather than endorse one or the
other, Edwards and his wife will save their political capital for
causes such as fighting poverty and improving U.S. health care.
