Skip David Murdoch picked up a couple of early singles before being gifted a two when German skip Andy Kapp left his final stone short on the fourth end.
However, a slight error with his final stone allowed Edin a double take-out opportunity, which he converted to force the British skip to take one and send the game into an extra end.
John Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004, announced Wednesday that he will skip a second run for the White House to concentrate on bringing the war in Iraq to an end.
