JOHN EDWARDS ENDORSES BARACK OBAMA!
2008-05-15 01:05:00 JOHN EDWARDS ENDORSES BARACK OBAMA! (AP photo)In a move as shocking for its timing as it is for its impact, former Senator and Presidential Candidate John Edwards has just officially endorsed Senator Barack Obama for President. Edwards did this at a previously scheduled Obama campaign visit in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but it could not have been better timed.While Senator Obama was already well on his way to sewing-up the Democratic Presidential Nomination, he'd just been clobbered in West Virginia by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. While Obama did not campaign heavily there, the idea was being launched -- by Clinton herself -- that she and not Obama could win the "poor, undereducated, working-class white vote." When was the last time you heard that description of a group of people? At any rate, the next day -- today -- Barack Obama took the media wind out of Senator Clinton's sails with this annoucement.

John Edwards To Endorse Barack Obama
2008-05-14 23:29:00 This just in from the Department Of Things Happening Way To Late Too Late To Make A Serious Impact--John Edwards will endorse Barack Obama at an event in Grand Rapids, Michigan, tonight. Edwards becomes the third former candidate to endorse Obama, joining New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd. The move, however, comes more than a week after his home state of North Carolina held its primary and months after he abandoned his campaign following a disappointing showing in native South Carolina in January.With just five contests remaining, the endorsement doesn't significantly change the tight primary race between Obama and Hillary Clinton. Obama is already viewed by most Democrats as the likely nominee, while Clinton has made clear that she will state in the race at least through the beginning of June. Edwards' support for Obama is, however, yet another sign that the Democratic Party is beginning to unite behind its nominee. Depending on his level o...

"Jobs" suggests that Obama lacks the experience and specific proposals to address the serious economic concerns facing the country.Meanwhile, Obama also makes an appearance in new Republican attack ad in Mississippi's 1st District special election. The ad, certainly a test run for similar attacks in the fall, is so over the top it almost runs reads like a mock attack ad. The text:Travis Childers: endorsed by liberal Barack Obama.
