John Edwards was "flabbergasted" by the news, Newsweek said. "Let me get this straight," he told campaign staffers. "He met with terrorists? Oh, that's good."
Good'old Jonny Boy 
he better make somthing of himself over the next few years and give up on running in 2008... as i've said he should go back to NC, and network like hell for the next four years and look to replace Easley in 2008 and then run in 2012 or 2016.
I don't know why Edwards vacated his Senate seat he may have held on

His re-elect numbers in NC were very weak. The more time he spent campaigning for President the better he did. The more time he spent in NC the worse he did.
He just did the math and figured his best bet was to run for President and hope to get on the ticket. If he came to NC to run for Senate the odds were he would end up losing a Senate race, which hurts his political future more than losing as VP.
