CNN says nyet.
Sounds to me like he is stumping for the sympathy vote.
Hope his wife beats this though.
Due to wife's relapse with breast cancer.

Dude doesn't have a chance anyway.
I saw it on MSNBC...no doubt about him pulling out, he made the official announcement.
Yeah...
Wife's illness won't idle Edwards ’08 campaign
‘Campaign goes on,’ Democratic hopeful says despite return of wife’s cancer
Ahh my bad....I coulda sworn he announced he was pulling out.
This won't help his campaign IMO.
I like Edwards and I pray all goes well for his wife and family.
I tried that for a while, now I have THREE children.
(bad taste, but had to do it)
Lost my dad to cancer three years ago; I pray for his family and what they are about to witness and go through.
Even if he did pull out, he has plenty of years left to run...a relatively young candidate
I.e....Edwards is still fighting for a VP slot on the right ticket. could be Hitlery, but I doubt Obama.
The majority doesn't want to elect a first lady they are going to have to mourn.
Fact.
Edwards is done.
And I don't think putting his pursuit of the Presidency in front of his wife's health is going to go over real big either.
I know if my wife had incurable cancer I wouldn't be putting that off while I run for the Presidency.
Edwards is a vapid dilettante whose only support was among socialists and ambulance-chasers anyway. He never had a chance.
I pray his wife recovers.
why is our next president not trying to have children?
he should just use condoms.
Socialists? WTF are you smoking?
Edwards is DLC - centrists, pro-business.

The Politico Apologizes After Wrongly Reporting Edwards Was Suspending Campaign
03-22-2007 5:18 PM
By DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer
NEW YORK (Associated Press)In a later post, led "Getting it Wrong," Smith explained how he had trusted a reliable source he had known for years. But he "unwisely" wrote it without getting a second source, he said.-- A reporter for the new Politico Web site apologized for reporting that John Edwards was suspending his campaign for president more than an hour before Edwards said Thursday he was staying in the race.
The incorrect report rocketed through the media before Edwards held his news conference announcing the recurrence of his wife's cancer. Some outlets used Politico's information; others steered clear.
Ben Smith, a former New York Daily News reporter, posted the report on his Politico Web log at 11:06 a.m. EDT. Quoting but not identifying "an Edwards friend" as his source, Smith reported that Edwards was suspending his campaign and may drop out completely because of his wife's cancer.
Linky
She won't. The line is "treatable, but not curable". It must have metastasized.I pray his wife recovers.
It's Bush's fault.
I thought the le was a sexual reference.
If she gets lucky, a couple of years. Decades would be borderline miraculous.
Edwards is a protectionist in addition to being a populist sleaze, so I'll thank God for small favors.
You are so D U M B. You have any idea at all what
bone cancer is? I thought not. The lady has a painful
death approaching. And believe me it will not be for
"a" decade much less a couple.
But I'm not surprised at your ignorance.
o doctors
Number of human beings who have survived 5 years with metastasized cancer EVER:
0 - none, nada, never.
She will probably go relatively quickly; long before the actual election. THAT is why Edwards is staying in the race, IMO. It's done, nothing to do about it, no sense in scrapping everything at this point - he'll have time to carry on his election AFTER she goes, she has probably been encouraging him.
In a 1995 survey sponsored by the National Alliance of Breast Cancer Organizations (NABCO), the majority of the 200 women with metastatic breast cancer surveyed said the public perceives them as being "near death—with little or no time to live." However, nearly 20% of women with metastatic breast cancer live five years or longer. It is important for patients and physicians to be realistic about the outcome of advanced breast cancer, but at the same time, the survival rate (16%) is based on statistics. Each woman is unique and her situation will also be unique.
