Edwards endorses Obama
After lots of waiting and debating, Sen. John Edwards announced his support for Barack Obama yesterday.
Here’s a short video, from Edwards:
On the way to Grand Rapids, Mich. to make the announcement, the Obama campaign sent out a message to supporters:
“I’m deeply honored by John’s support. He is a true leader who dedicated his career to improving the lives of ordinary Americans.
“John ran a strong, principled campaign for president, focusing on a number of important issues where we share common ground — universal health care, bringing our troops home from Iraq, and eliminating poverty in America.
“The way he ran his campaign was also important. He ran in a way that reflected our shared conviction that we need to fundamentally change politics.”
