Former Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards will officially announce his candidacy for president Thursday in New Orleans.
In a sign of the ever-growing influence of the Internet and grass/netroots, Edwards leaked the news online.
"Better a day earlier than a day late," said Jennifer Palmieri, an Edwards adviser, according to the Associated Press.
If you have any doubts, his website already boasts the logo, "John Edwards 08."
Yep, he's in. But can he topple the titans of Hillary and Obama?
The latest New Hampshire poll has him running third, but still within striking distance.
Iowa is clearly his stomping ground in the early going. The latest polling there has him deadlocked 22%-22% with a surging Barack Obama.

Edwards "two Americas" slogan is lame and stupid. Especially since he lives in one and we live in the other. I can't understand where his money is coming from, other than lawyers, given the other candidates and the fact he is a proven loser.
A multi-millionaire who claims to speak for the poor, is as hypocritical as an ex-VP who flies around, burns thousands of gallons of jet fuel, to tell the world of the evils of... burning fossil fuels.
