| Two candidates for the post of President of the USA - Democrat John Edwards and Republican Rudolf Giuliani - leave the election race after the primary party elections, which were carried out on Tuesday in Florida.
According to the poll results, the former senator John Edwards and ex-Mayor of New York Rudolf Giuliani could not get a majority of the votes from the voters from their parties and considered it pointless to continue the fight to become the party candidate during the elections.
As predicted, John Edwards would officially declare about his withdrawal from the elections later today in New Orleans, Louisiana, during the speech the “Struggle against poverty”, planned at 13:00 hrs East Coast time in the USA. Last year, the ex-Senator started his pre-election campaign in New Orleans.
The Senator from New York Hillary Clinton will continue the battle for the White House, who won the primary in Florida against the black presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama, who is also a colleague in congress and a senator from the state of Illinois.
One more aspirant, the ex-senator from Alaska Mike Gravel has not withdrawn from the race for the presidency although according to political scientists, his chances of winning the elections are very dim.
The defeat in Florida has forced Mr. Rudy Giuliani to withdraw from the elections since he anticipated victory in this state during the primary but did not get enough support from the electorate. Rudy Giuliani would officially declare his intentions to withdraw from the pre-election campaign during the course of today’s trip to California. According to the sources in pre-election staff, R. Giuliani is requesting his supporters to extend support to the candidature of the senator from Arizona John McCain, informs the mass-media.
Thus, the following Republicans - Senator John McCain, ex-Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney, ex-Governor Arkansas Mike Huckabee and outsider, the congressman from Texas Ron Paul, continue the fight to become the candidature of the party in the elections.

John Edwards and Rudy Giuliani told their supporters today they abandoned their bid for The White house. The decision to quit the 2008 presidential race came after both Edwards and Giuliani failed to win any primaries so far and the polls left them little hope. In his quitting speech Giuliani endorsed his long time Republican friend John McCain, while Edwards was not ready to give any endorsements at this point.
