LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said on Thursday he would not accept the nomination for U.S. vice president as he did four years ago.
Edwards, a former senator from North Carolina, dropped out of the 2008 race that is still being contested by the two remaining Democrats, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, to see who represents the party in the November 4 general election.
One day Edwards is belting out fiery anti-corporate stump speeches, saying he's "in it till the end" and then he disappeared-- he was nowhere to be found. He was likely threatened, which would explain his sudden and unanticipated withdrawal, not to mention the subsequent vanishing act. That would also explain why he doesn't want to get involved with either of the factions vying for control. Fair play, really.
