Edwards Still Undecided About 2008 -- Political Wire

Edwards Still Undecided About 2008

Despite appearances to the contrary, former vice presidential candidate John Edwards (D) said that "he has not decided whether he will run for president in 2008," the AP reports. The former senator said "his family is focused on the recovery of his wife, who was diagnosed with breast cancer the day after the 2004 general election."

Washington Whispers notes the good news for Mrs. Edwards: "The treatment is over, and her doctors feel hopeful about the future."

Update: A Political Wire reader writes: "Yesterday I was at the Jackson Day Dinner (big fundraiser for the Tennessee Democratic Party) in Nashville, where John Edwards was the Keynote Speaker in front of 1,500 people (who paid anywhere from $150 to $1,000 to be there), and anyone who saw that reached the same conclusion: he's running in 2008. He gave the usual talk about the 'Two Americas' and about poverty in America, and talked alot about the 2004 campaign (yet did not mention Kerry's name once). He was very well received."
