Flashback to a Super Tuesday 20 years ago in Raleigh

Flashback: Edwards, then a first-term Senator, was considered a long shot to win the 2004 Democratic nomination, but his campaign fared better than many expected.

• He would end up being the last major candidate to drop out, paving the way for John Kerry — who would then make Edwards his pick for vice president — to win the nomination.
• Edwards dropped out in a speech at Broughton High School.
• He won two primaries. The North Carolina caucus (his home state) and the South Carolina primary (his birth state).
