No longer a rumor: Edwards throws his hat in

John Edwards is going to be running for president in 2008. That's not a rumor, that's not speculation...it's confirmed. His campaign website is clearly up and running, adorned with a banner that reads "John Edwards 08".

UPDATE: Apparently, it was an accidental announcement:
The North Carolina Democrat's campaign accidentally went live with his election Web site a day before today's announcement that was scheduled to use hurricane-ravaged New Orleans as a backdrop.

The slip-up gave an unintended double-meaning to his campaign slogan on the John Edwards '08 Web site: "Tomorrow begins today."
Ah well. That's the way to do it these days.

NPI is not supporting any particular aspirant for the Democratic nomination, but Edwards is one of the better candidates, and we'll be following his bid for the presidency throughout 2007 with interest.
