Will the 2008 campaign be minus two at days end?

Should this article be correct, John Edwards will depart the presidential race today:
DENVER (AP) – Democrat John Edwards is exiting the presidential race Wednesday, ending a scrappy underdog bid in which he steered his rivals toward progressive ideals while grappling with family hardship that roused voters’ sympathies but never diverted his campaign, The Associated Press has learned.
The two-time White House candidate notified a close circle of senior advisers that he planned to make the announcement at a 1 p.m. EST event in New Orleans that had been billed as a speech on poverty, according to two of his advisers. The decision came after Edwards lost the four states to hold nominating contests so far to rivals who stole the spotlight from the beginning—Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.The former North Carolina senator will not immediately endorse either candidate in what is now a two-person race for the Democratic nomination, said one adviser, who spoke on a condition of anonymity in advance of the announcement.
Personally, I see no surprise here. There comes a time just as with Rudy Giuliani when you have to face reality.

Future generations will marvel, I think, over the amount of invective directed towards a center/right American politcian who bent over backwards – some times to the great dismay of his core supporters – to be kind to his opponents. President Bush is a man of first principles, but also a man who is willing to work with just about anybody in order to get the business of America done. A Chrsitian in fact as well as name, he’s treated by his opponents as a spawn of perdition. And the oddest thing of it is that all of the invective – like Savage’s rant – has been pointless. President Bush is of that moral belief (so am I) that abuse by others – if suffered patiently and for the glory of God – is a thing to be thankful for. President Bush, courtesy of his opponents, has had 7 years of intense schooling in how to be patient – and, I’ll bet, also in how to pray for those who hate you. The only people harmed by all the lies and slanders against President Bush have been those who launched them – who have poisoned their own souls, and made themselves into worse people, day by day.
