WI: John Edwards didn't run in 2008

He cares for his wife faithfully until she does and with an enormous sympathy factor runs statewide in North Carolina, probably wins, gets on the Democratic ticket in 2016.
After Iowa he was a non factor, most of his support went to Obama after he dropped out.
If he doesn't run in 08, Obama has a bigger victory in Iowa and maybe wins in New Hampshire and Nevada.
After Super Tuesday when HRC failed to put Obama away, Obama had a string of ten straight victories and HRC was basically out of cash.
Without any more money, HRC drops out before she can get to Ohio and Pennsylvania which rejuvenated her campaign.
So without Edwards in the race splitting the early anti-HRC vote, Obama puts HRC away quicker.
