Edwards vows he is in the race ‘until the convention’

DEMOCRATIC presidential candidate John Edwards took his third-place New Hampshire finish in his stride, pledging to carry his battle forward despite difficult odds.

“I am in this race until the convention,” he said.

Mr Edwards had campaigned on a message of ridding Washington of special-interest corruption, and he made clear despite finishing well behind his two main rivals he would not change course as the race heads toward “Super Tuesday” next month.
