You may think he lacks "gravitas," that his Two Americas dichotomy is false (for being just a single split, that is), and that his plan for Iraq amounts to little more than, "Screw you, guys, we're going home." But there is no arguing with Edwards' decision to withdraw from Election '08 because of his wife's continuing bout with breast cancer. I wish her well, and I admire him:

Mrs. Edwards, 57, received a cancer diagnosis in 2004 almost on the day that Mr. Edwards, the vice-presidential candidate, and Senator John Kerry, Democrat of Massachusetts, were defeated in their race for the White House.

Mr. Edwards has said he waited to announce a second bid for the presidency until he and Mrs. Edwards’s doctors were confident about her recovery.

* Negative. I thought his announcement today would confirm this, but he trudges on.
