Edwards to Withdraw From Race?

The buzz this morning is John Edwards may drop out of the 2008 presidential race due to his wife Elizabeth's health.

John Edwards, the North Carolina Democrat making a second bid for the presidency, announced late Wednesday night that he would hold a news conference Thursday, a day after he and his wife, Elizabeth, visited Mrs. Edwards? doctor to assess her health following her recovery from breast cancer.

While I certainly am no fan of Edwards, we should all put politics aside and wish John and Elizabeth Edwards well and keep them in our prayers.

More at Captain's Quarters.

UPDATE: Edwards apparently is staying in the race.

John Edwards said Thursday his wife's cancer has returned, but said he will continue his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.

"The campaign goes on. The campaign goes on strongly," Edwards told reporters, his wife by his side.
