John Edwards is dropping out of the presidential race today.On CNN, Jessica Yellin is reporting that Edwards phoned Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama yesterday to urge them to make fighting poverty, his signature issue, and important part of their campaigns. Edwards never had the kind of intense religious outreach operation of the Obama or Clinton campaigns, but he did consistently campaign on the moral issue of ending poverty. For that, God-o-Meter is goosing his rating until Edwards makes it official this afternoon at 1.

To me, an emphasis on poverty is an intense religious outreach, especially if he really intended to address it. Unfortunately, intense religious outreach has come to mean using words like God and faith a lot.
