MSNBC Breaking: Former Democratic Presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson has announced that he will not seek his party's nomination in 2008. "Besides having been dead for 42 years, I also feel that this just isn't the time for me to throw my hat into the ring again."

Stevenson, in a thoroughly unprecedented move, encouraged his supporters to back Democratic hopefuls Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, AND Barack Obama. He stated "Audacity of HOPE? What the hell could be more audacious than casting your vote for THREE candidates instead of one? In my book, that triples the odds that ONE of them will take back the White House in 2008."

Stevenson did not take questions from the press during his brief speech. Instead, he waved to the crowd and signaled his accompanying orchestra to play a medley of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama," "Gimme Three Steps," and "Free Bird" as he exited in a haze of dry ice fog.
