Edwards offers Kerry his 'best wishes'
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Calling Sen. John Kerry, D-Massachusetts, and his wife Teresa "dear friends," former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards praised Kerry's "experience, insight, and conscience in the Senate."
"Elizabeth and I know John's decision not to run for president in 2008 is a difficult one, because we know his first instinct is always to respond to any call to serve his country," Edwards said in a statement. "He and Teresa have our very best wishes as they concentrate on other ways to continue the exemplary service that has improved the lives of so many in so many ways." Edwards, who launched his White House bid last month, was Kerry's running-mate in the 2004 presidential election. -- CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
