ASHEVILLE, N.C. – Beginning a three-day farewell tour as U.S. senator, John Edwards focused on the future Monday, vowing to help his wife during her treatment for breast cancer and carry on his own political activism.

"One thing you can count on is that this fight is not over," the former vice presidential candidate said to loud applause from about 300 people at a federal building in western North Carolina's largest city.

Edwards, 51, will finish his term in the Senate early next year; his successor will be Republican Richard Burr.

At a town hall-style meeting, Edwards sidestepped the issue of whether he'd consider a presidential run in 2008, saying he's focusing first on his wife's illness.

"Right now, with all that has happened, we're going to work to make sure Elizabeth is well," Edwards said. "I will make any decisions on what I should be doing over the next few months and beyond in the future."
