edwards endorses obama

in a somewhat surprise move, john edwards has endorsed barack obama for the democratic nominee for president. edwards had been non-committal and indicated he’d wait till all the primaries were over until he’d give an endorsement, if any. it seems like things must be over in his eyes to come forward, even this late in game. i certainly can’t hurt after clinton’s mega-victory in west virginia which did little for her but highlighted obama’s perceived weakness with white middle to lower class voters. could this be the democratic ticket? wouldn’t be a bad choice, but i like the idea of jim webb as well. in any event, welcome aboard john.
