John Edwards Will Stay and Fight for Nomination

By Jeralyn

John Edwards today said he's staying in the race, even though he got his "butt kicked" in Nevada. He said he makes no excuses for the loss. And, he reminds us, we're 3 states down with 47 to go. (Actually, Michigan makes it 4, although the results there like in Florida, may not count.)

Edwards arrived in South Carolina last night and will be campaigning there all week.

Edwards has put far more effort in South Carolina than Nevada, spending $2 million on advertising there -- twice what Clinton and Obama have spent there.

While Edwards said South Carolina was important, he said he would stay in the race even if he ran poorly there. "Absolutely," Edwards said on CNN's Late Edition. "I'm in it for the long haul."
