Trash Dispatch: Breaking!
JOHN EDWARDS ENDORSES BARACK OBAMA!!!
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former Democratic presidential nominee John Edwards will endorse Sen. Barack Obama on Wednesday at a campaign event in Grand Rapids, Michigan, according to Obama’s campaign.
Edwards dropped out of the Democratic race in January 30 after poor showings in the early contests, in which he racked up just 26 delegates to the party’s August nominating convention in Denver.
He told NBC last week that Obama, the Democratic front-runner, is the party’s likely nominee. Both Obama and the his rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton, had sought Edwards’ blessing. -CNN

TrashDispatch: “Yeahman” of digg.com stated; “In doing so he can now turn over all the pledged delegates he’s won to Obama.” That’s 27 delagates by CNN’s count.
“Ricoknowsbest” writes that this is the, “Final Nail in the Coffin for Hillary”. However “NameTry2468″ wrote; ” 1 Day after West Virginia? Nice timing, Johnny…”.
And in deed it does seem a little ironic that John Edwards should choose this particular moment to endorse Obama. Almost as if, he had been waiting in the wings of the Democratic party, so that he could Knee-Cap Hillary Clinton as she was coming off stage from a Brilliant performance. I mean, the parallel is uncanny.
Still, I wonder if this means an Obama / Edwards ticket?
Logically, -which is to say, as a “man”,- it would be (look) better for Edwards as second to another “male” Presidential candidate. I mean, rather than second to a Female candidate. But wait a minute! That would make Edwards a sexist. Surely not! …Maybe Obama just had more Money to offer, on Top of a Vice nomination.
An endorsement from Edwards, who ran as vice president on Sen. John Kerry’s ticket in the 2004 presidential election, would have a significant impact on the race, Democratic strategist Peter Fenn said after Edwards dropped out.
“You could make an argument that the change issue does benefit Barack Obama, that he picks up that support. You could also make the argument that there’s a lot of support out there amongst people that will go to Hillary,” he said. “The big issue here is who will he endorse.” -CNN
Yep, welp. We know now! “Obama/Edwards, 2008″.
