John Edwards actually said...

"Kerry and Edwards linked arms and projected a positive attitude in their first joint campaign appearance."

"I'm running for president. I'm a Democrat running for president."

"Well, I don't know if you've been following the polls, but I think it will actually be news to most people that I'm running for president of the United States."

"John Edwards is officially out of the Democratic presidential race. The senator today urged his cheering supporters to join him in doing everything possible to help John Kerry win the White House."
