Edwards | AP: Edwards to quit

So says CNN.

He’s speaking now.

UPDATE: Talking about his campaign in the past tense: “We have been the Little Engine that could, and I am proud of what we have done together, you and I. And so I think all of you, and everyone across America who has joined in this cause to change America.”

Not conceding officially just now. But he’s clearly done.

Wolf Blitzer says he’ll make it official in Raleigh tomorrow.

Jeff Greenfield says we should modify “Dated Dean, Married Kerry” to “Dated Dean, Married Kerry, Thought About Fooling Around With Edwards, Then Came Home.”

Personaly I much prefer seeing Bush run against Kerry for the same reason I think Edwards conceding now is a mistake for “him”.

If Kerry has peaked and starts slipping and has to go to the Convention with less than a first vote nomination total, Edwards would be the obvious replacement, particularly if his popularity grows while that of Kerry diminishes.
