Edwards Endorses Obama, Starts the Mending Process
Edwards endorsed Obama last night at a rally in Michigan. Already the United Steelworkers Union, originally backers of Edwards, have signed on to support Obama. In addition, a handful of Edwards’ pledged delegates have line up behind Obama.
What’s most notable about Edwards’ speech is that he takes the first several minutes to praise and commend Clinton (initially eliciting boos from the Obamatrons in the audience). I think this was Edwards’ attempt to heal the wounds and start to bring the party back together. I think John Edwards is an amazing person and politician. I hope he finds a place in Obama’s cabinet or administration.
