GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Democrat John Edwards is endorsing former rival Barack Obama, fresh signs of the party establishment embracing the likely nominee even as Hillary Rodham Clinton refuses to give up her long-shot candidacy.

Edwards was to appear with Obama in Grand Rapids, Mich., as Obama campaigns in a critical general election battleground state.

The endorsement comes the day after Clinton defeated Obama by more than 2-to-1 in West Virginia. The loss highlighted Obama's work to win over the "Hillary Democrats" "? white, working-class voters who also supported Edwards in large numbers before he exited the race.

I think we just figured out who is wanting that "running mate" nod.

Obama beats McCain to win the presidency. Mark it down.

Would have came off better had he endorsed him earlier.
Now it just seems like he's endorsing him because he more than likely got this in the bag.

Edwards endorsing Obama... another significant reason why I would never vote for Obama.

Yeahh that makes sense

Yep, Obama is a Marxist, Hitlery is a socialist. No thinking person would ever vote for either one of the inept, incompetent idiots. But hey, this country is filled with dumbasses.
