John Edwards: Obama will be the nominee
Former contender John Edwards, appearing on Face the Nation, made it clear that he feels the Democratic race is now over:
Quote:
"I think it is likely, certainly, at this point, that Senator Obama will be the nominee," said Edwards, a former North Carolina senator and two-time presidential candidate.
"I think the one thing that [Clinton] has to be careful about ... is that, if she makes the case for herself, which she's completely entitled to do, she has to be really careful that she's not damaging our prospects, the Democratic Party, and our cause, for the fall."
Edwards said Clinton has been making "a pretty compelling case for her candidacy," but "you can no longer make a compelling case for the math." Obama on Saturday took a lead among Democratic superdelegates, and he already led among pledged delegates.

Hillary Clinton would do herself and the Clinton legacy a lot of good if she discontinued this hopeless quest and got behind the nominee.
