Edwards steps aside by Sandra Stoklaskova

Wednesday, New Orleans, Johhny Reid Edwards ends White House bid. He ended his campaign with the belief that "one America" would be finally united under a Democratic president. Simultaneously, he has submitted this goal to two remaining Democratic candidates, Hillary Rodman Clinton and Barack Obama. "Two Americas", a phrase Edwards uses very often, represents one for haves and the other for the have-nots. His dream was to unify this two Americas into one Democratic nation. Candidacy of this big personality was also in compliance with his dream, as it was based on ending poverty and inequality in economics. Edwards is experienced in both poverty and wealth, because he lived on both sides. He was born in Seneca, S.C., and his parents worked all their lives in textile mill. He spent most of his youth in the countryside of North Carolina and was the first one of his family to attend college and then university. Edwards's political career began 10 years ago in 1998 as a Southerner for the Senate and went on with his first presidential bid in 2004. Now he ran as a liberal with a strong opposition to the war. He is also voicing reduction in emissions that contribute to global warming and was the first to present universal health care plan. The former North Carolina senator began his candidacy 13 months earlier at the same place, where he also ended it, due to seeming contradictions and personal drama. Elizabeth Edwards, his wife, said laughing: "'So, Dad's going to be home tomorrow and the day after and the day after." As we can see, there are some people, who are happy about his decision to end his presidential bid.
