What happens to Edwards?

Yesterday we reported that John Edwards was blaming the lack of media coverage of his candidacy for the perception it was a two-way race between Clinton and Obama.

"If you cover me and I'm heard, we'll be successful, it's just that simple," he said. "They just have to hear me, that's literally all it takes. That depends on you being fair and balanced in your coverage."


Today he leaves Nevada, a state with strong unions, who should have been a natural constituency with under 4% of the vote. Was it the media or was it his campaign? Add your thoughts in the comments on what looks like a far far worse result for him than expected.
