I believe ABC News Reporters Raelyn Johnson and Ed O'Keefe summed up Edwards' campaingn the best:
Edwards fought an uphill battle for the Democratic nomination, with a campaign focused on fighting poverty, uplifting the working middle class and guaranteeing universal health care for all Americans.
What Edwards lacked in votes, he made up for in compassion. His populist message played well with working middle class families. He often touted himself as the candidate from rural America who inherently best understood issues facing a broad swath of voters.
As you probably know, Edwards' had to make a difficult decision in March of 2007 on whether to continue his campaign when he discovered that his wife, Elizabeth, had suffered a recurrence of cancer.

Good Luck, John and Elizabeth!!!
