What's He Waiting For?

There are some things in life that are certain.

• When you drop your toast it'll land butter-side down.
• My horse in the Grand National will not get a mention unless the commentator happens to see it fall at the first fence.
• When your Australian friends visit you, they'll want to go out for a beer on the first night.
• Andy Murray will always have silly hair.

To the above list, we can add another: John Edwards will not be the next President of the United States of America.

So it begs the question, what is he still doing in the race? I understand he is a very rich man so maybe he just likes the attention but his campaign must be haemorrhaging money at this late stage.

I guess he is well aware that his relatively static 13% support is ultimately going to the be the king or queen maker in the Demcratic contest. Though if national polls are to be believed it is John Edwards, perversely, who will be picking not just a candidate but the next American president assuming he wants to be someone's running mate again.

So I ask again, what is he waiting for? And I really am asking so if anyone has any ideas, feel free to leave a reply....
