Edwards is completely out of the race now. He just hasn't given his concession speech yet.


>One thing that is sad, but to be expected, is how voters will change over the course of the primaries. Very often a voter will prefer a candidate over the others, but he will not see his choice as having a chance of winning so instead of voting for his choice, he will pick out of the candidates he sees as having a viable chance of winning. As Obama gains more ground, you may see a lot of Edwards voters splitting between Clinton and Obama and virtually knocking Edwards completely out of the race.
