NEW ORLEANS - Democrat John Edwards bowed out of the race for the White House on Wednesday, saying it was time to step aside "so that history can blaze its path" in a campaign now left to Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

"With our convictions and a little backbone we will take back the White House in November," said Edwards, ending his second campaign in a hurricane-ravaged section of New Orleans where he began it more than a year ago.

Edwards said Clinton and Obama had both pledged that "they will make ending poverty central to their campaign for the presidency."

Obama praised Edwards in a statement Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Democrat Barack Obama praised John Edwards and his wife Elizabeth Wednesday, in a statement issued shortly after news surfaced the former North Carolina senator plans to drop his presidential bid.
“John Edwards has spent a lifetime fighting to give voice to the voiceless and hope to the struggling, even when it wasn’t popular to do or covered in the news," he said. "At a time when our politics is too focused on who’s up and who’s down, he made a nation focus again on who matters – the New Orleans child without a home, the West Virginia miner without a job, the families who live in that other America that is not seen or heard or talked about by our leaders in Washington."

"John and Elizabeth Edwards have always believed deeply that we can change this – that two Americans can become one, and that our country can rally around this common purpose," Obama continued. "So while his campaign may end today, the cause of their lives endures for all of us who still believe that we can achieve that dream of one America."

U are asking Obama to commit political suicide. We cannot have an Obama/Clinton or vice versa ticket.

In as much as we are ready for a change, America is not ready for two-minority ticket.

Yes I agree that they are capable and we still have a long way to go in that arena. You saw how long it took for Women and Blacks to finally be able to cast a vote. One hurdle at a time.

Is either we get a woman president or black president. It does not matter if it a Clinton/Obama ticket or Obama/Clinton ticket just know it is not going to fly with the right right or left.

I am enjoying the show between Obama and Clinton but at the end one person will get the party nomination and they cannot choose each other as a running mate because that is a such way for the Democrats to kiss the election good-bye.
