(CNN) — Former Michigan Rep. David Bonior, who served as John Edwards campaign manager, will endorse Barack Obama for president, an Obama spokesman confirms to CNN.

The endorsement was first reported Thursday morning by ABCNews.com.

Hopefully Former Representative Bonior won't have the same effect on Senator Obama's presidential prospects that he did on Senator Edwards.'

Mike   May 8th, 2008 8:34 am ET

Who gives a flip!

Edwards still can't endorse anyone?

Go Hillary!!!!!

Mike   May 8th, 2008 8:35 am ET

…didn't do much as a Campaign Manager; not too impressed of the endorsement!

Go Hillary!!!!!!

kathy in ohio   May 8th, 2008 8:36 am ET

anyone know of any websites to boycott obama I am a big hillary supporter, female, white, catholic, blue colar, uneducated, clinging to my guns and religion. Anyone else upset about the pressure for hillary to leave the race. I am one of those that will vote for McCain only to cancel an Obama vote. I think we need a website so the democratic party realizes how serious we are.

Jan   May 8th, 2008 8:36 am ET

Obama may steal the nomination -but will not win the election in November. He can talk the talk but seems to be unable to walk the walk. Vacations in the middle of an important election? Never had to pay his dues? Disenfranchising voters? He simply does not know how to win more than a couple demographics.

ele   May 8th, 2008 8:36 am ET

Well, that is just great!

Dennis   May 8th, 2008 8:37 am ET

Limbaugh is a moron, who would listen to him anyway?

jcm from Tampa, FL   May 8th, 2008 8:37 am ET

It is time for John Edwards to do the same; the whole country is desperate for this change and he knows it.

Hillary is trying to buy the White House loaning money to her campaign; when she n loaned the first 5 million dollars she said that it was a good investment; I don’t do an investment unless I’m getting a good rate of return. The president’s salary is $400,000 per year, so, she will need to be president 12.5 years just to get her principal back and having work free all that time.

She is trying to buy the White House with those loans; but the housing market is not doing so well and she will have to foreclose before she gets in it.

M Philllips   May 8th, 2008 8:37 am ET

Let's hope Elizabeth and John Edwards join him. They have a lot to offer the Obama campaign– a far better choice for them than swimming toward a sinking ship.

fred   May 8th, 2008 8:38 am ET

Oh WOW, another nut case….Obama will never win in the General…I hope they all enjoy their loss!!

If not Hillary…then McCain!!!

Sam in Indiana   May 8th, 2008 8:38 am ET

Hillary is kidding herself and trying to kid the superdelegates. Hillary could never win the general election. More people would vote against her than for her. Operation chaos helped her in Indiana to the tune of 15% of people in the exit polls said they would not vote for her in the general election. She is simply divisive.

Obama is really the nominee at this point. And our best chance for winning the general election.

Joyce in Florida   May 8th, 2008 8:38 am ET

So what? Obviously Rep. Bonior couldn't do much for John Edwards, so I guess he will make an attempt for Obama? Not saying much here.

hahaha   May 8th, 2008 8:39 am ET

The Clinton's are done, the Clinton's are done, the Clinton's are done!

hahahahaha.

carol   May 8th, 2008 8:39 am ET

Rush needs to be in jail he has also called for riots in the streets.

He flatters himself does he think he is relavent?

Tim in NC   May 8th, 2008 8:40 am ET

Is he a superdelegate?? Is he bringing Edwards' endorsement with him?

If the answer is no, then why is this news…?

Seriously, WHY is this news, if there is more to the story, give it to us, or say something to the effect of "to be continued".

carlo   May 8th, 2008 8:40 am ET

That's wonderful. At least Edwards' campaign manager makes his own decisions and doesn't allow his friends, acquaintances, or "his wife" to pigeonhole him into silence. Take notes Edwards.

lee west   May 8th, 2008 8:41 am ET

why would anyone care what rush limbaugh says. the only people that listen to him are guillible republicans

Marshall   May 8th, 2008 8:42 am ET

Come on Mr Edwards…Pledge!

RON   May 8th, 2008 8:43 am ET

Thank you,,,,,,,,,,, now where is John

Obama 08

tidho   May 8th, 2008 8:43 am ET

Is he a Super?…or is this not news at all.

I guess either way its good for Obama.

Dana in north Carolina   May 8th, 2008 8:44 am ET

Thanks, now will Edwards be too far behind?

cnn rocks   May 8th, 2008 8:44 am ET

dems,united we stand ,divide we fall,lets unite and send bush packing.

Belle   May 8th, 2008 8:45 am ET

Clinton has won 10 of the Battleground states compared to Obama's 7
Clinton has won EVERY state needed to win the General Election, and then some.

For the Obama supporters that say Obama does NOT need Clinton or FL or MI…wow…you are dumber than you are supposed to be.

If Clinton chose to run as an Independant….she would beat BOTH Obama and McCain in a General Election….

I think she should do it! Too bad she is so loyal to the Democratic Party…

By the way…you Obama supporters that say a vote for Clinton is Racist…actually YOUR comment is the Racist comment. You may support your candidate vigorously, but to globalize and group all Clinton voters like that shows the racism in the remarks to begin with.
Only part of the reason you have helped to divide the party.

Kel in Auburn, AL   May 8th, 2008 8:46 am ET

Uh, oh! Getting closer to an Edwards endorsement every day!

poyoray   May 8th, 2008 8:46 am ET

What a stupid endorsement.

Divanto   May 8th, 2008 8:47 am ET

way to go.

Amy in Woodstock, NY   May 8th, 2008 8:52 am ET

We will unite this country. YES WE CAN!

H. MacArthur   May 8th, 2008 8:52 am ET

. . . Democrats unite, and save the country from McCain's continuing
policies of George Bush. (The gas prices in Michigan hit $4.00 a gallon).

Yes We Can.

scared of her   May 8th, 2008 8:52 am ET

Thank you Mr. Bonior. Now, if Edwards and Gore will declare for Obama, we can concentrate on winning the Election!!!!

lol   May 8th, 2008 8:53 am ET

this guy backs one loser after another. obama can't beat mccain. obama only wins big red states, that will go to mccain in the general.

Michigan   May 8th, 2008 8:53 am ET

Come and join the Obama team John and Elizabeth :-)!! We would be honored to have you!

KE   May 8th, 2008 8:53 am ET

Obama/Hillary or Hillary/Obama won't work I realized. Obama's record will hunt both of them if they are on the same ticket, it will hurt both of them. Best Obama run in November his way if he is a nominee. He and his supporters just need to figure out how to win over Hillary's constituency who most likely will make up thier own mind. Or perhaps they have already some other plan.

I suppose Hillary can quit anytime if she chose to, unless there is something we don't know and she should keep going against all the fights and fuss from her own party and the media. We know she doesn't need to prove anything to anybody now. She run an ectraordinary campaign and she will be very well respected, both domestically and internationally after this. She deserves good break soon from campaigning so hard.

This election is the most interesting election I can remember paid attention to, with so many complicaions and the evolution of media, political parties, race, gender and so on. I really learned a lot about the party though.

Baby B   May 8th, 2008 8:55 am ET

and who cares?

Kenneth M   May 8th, 2008 8:55 am ET

TOO LATE EDWARDS, TOO LATE. STAY ON THE SIDE NOW AND DONT BOTHER TO RUN AGAIN. YOU DID NOT GET MORE THEN 6% OF ANY STATE ANYWAY.

FEDUP   May 8th, 2008 8:56 am ET

How sad for the democratic party to select a person who will lose in November. Obama is a black version of Dukakis. So, if we who are more central democrats, those who are more to the right added to those who are racist, the Independents who can't even decide which side of the fence to be on, then throw in the Republicians who will vote for McCain, how can Obama win? The Black vote will not carry Obama in the General Election. The Young voters will probable not even vote in the General. That leaves McCain as the next President of the US…This in a year that should have been ours for the taking. Hillary did not divide this party Obama did. Obamas' the urgency of now, is what caused this divide. He will throw anybody under the bus to be President! Anyone who doesn't believe this, is indeed an Idiot!

PA Supporter for OBAMA   May 8th, 2008 8:56 am ET

Now that's what I'm talking about.!!! Thank you Mr. Bonoir!! 8 more to go and Obama will tie Hillary in the Superdelegate numbers! He will than be winning in all categories.

Barack - a leader for ALL people!!!

rehoboth ng   May 8th, 2008 8:57 am ET

I do not cease to be amused by the frenzy surrounding the endorsement fever. Is it not so clear who the Democratic presumptive nominee is? It is only logical at this point to allow Barrack Obama run as the party's presidential candidate. The handwriting is on the wall for Hillary Clinton.
By the way, why did she have to meet with party officials yesterday.? I guess she must have tried to spin them to nominate her. It is a pity.

Chris Mannoia   May 8th, 2008 8:57 am ET

I have a question: what is the deal with John Edwards? Mr. "I'm for the little guy," with like a 10 million dollar estate; why hasn't he endorsed anyone? Is he waiting for the best deal? Attorney General with Hillary? Vice President with Obama?

Typical lawyer, out for himself.

Jackson   May 8th, 2008 8:58 am ET

I'd rather know what Edwards thinks. If it was Edwards instead of Clinton running right now I'd have a tough time right now deciding whether I'd vote for Edwards or Obama.

kissnahug   May 8th, 2008 8:59 am ET

Now just convince Edwards to get out the closet and endorse Barack.

Brian   May 8th, 2008 8:59 am ET

Is it possible that Hillary is just staying in the race at this point to try to make back some of the money she lost in "loans" to her campaign? I can't blame her if that is the case but I would hope that people that are donating to her campaign would want to know where their money is going.

Yasir Rushdan   May 8th, 2008 9:01 am ET

Congrats to Mr. Bonior. When Americans of "all" colors see party officials uniting with Senator Obama, then the critics and doubters about Senator Obama's bona fides for the highest office in the land will perhaps be silenced for good!

OBAMA 2008

Dianne   May 8th, 2008 9:01 am ET

Thank you John Edwards!

LT for Obama   May 8th, 2008 9:02 am ET

Wonderful. Now if we could just get John to follow suit.

Tim   May 8th, 2008 9:02 am ET

Outstanding!!! Thank you Mr Bonior!!! Let's end this, start the healing process and obliterate McCain in November!!!

John Edwards needs to let it be known now who he endorses!!!! There is no need to wait any longer.

LAK   May 8th, 2008 9:03 am ET

Another day, another endorsement.

carol   May 8th, 2008 9:03 am ET

I think Oboma will make a great presedent. He is not thinking of only the africanamerican community , he is enclusive of all people.I' think he can relate to black and white because he is both. He can also relate to the plight of the average persons. He know what it's like to start from the bottom up.

Bernard Shelton   May 8th, 2008 9:03 am ET

Very Good News.

Better Late than never. Where is Edwards himself? Kind of difficult to intelligently figure him out.

North Carolina Gal   May 8th, 2008 9:03 am ET

Thank you Former Michigan Rep. David Bonior, for doing the right thing for our party by endorsing Barack Obama for president.

The Super delegates are showing unfairness to the nominee that has been voted to serve our party in November. We are to believe HRD loves the Democratic party, If this is love we are seeing from someone who wants to be the President than hate would be equal to this so call love.

To the people whom supported HRC and now states that they will not vote for Obama, that they will change parties and vote for McCain, Apparently, you had this in mind anyway. If HRC had been the one that the people had voted in, I would have given her my support because I do love being a Democratic and four more years with a 3rd Bush agenda is a nightmare.

Please Super delegates do not let these idol threats shake your mind, do the right thing and join Former Michigan Rep. David Bonior and the rest who know that Obama won fair and square…

For those of you that worry about HRC, you really need to worry about yourself, anyone with $11 M+ sitting around to borrow to use for an election will be doing GREAT mentally, physical and of course financially without the bragging rights of being our first woman president.

H HEIDI   May 8th, 2008 9:03 am ET

Welcome abroad, and know your former employer (John Edward) is welcome too. Although he elected to not make a public endorsement prior to the NC election.

Donald from SC   May 8th, 2008 9:04 am ET

Slowly and each SuperD chooses Senator Obama. This shows that that delegate is making a deliberate choice and is not being forced to chose.

s   May 8th, 2008 9:04 am ET

I am so tired of this. Hillary please bow out gracefully. Please spare us all, we know you are bigger than graveling for votes.

Marty, Orlando   May 8th, 2008 9:06 am ET

Next stop, The Edwards.
Hillary, you are done, seriously

David King   May 8th, 2008 9:07 am ET

Can we all please come together? I keep hearing these biased comments. I also hear people talking about switch to the republican side if their candidate does not win. Is it really that serious? I'm sure we will all agree that McCain's Republican agenda is truly worst than either one of our fine democratic candidates. Let make peace and change the USA!

jfs Memhis, Tn   May 8th, 2008 9:07 am ET

Thank you so much !!! Welcome aboard…..onward to Denver and Nov. I hope that the Clinton supporters have a good turnout in W. Va. and well soon be able to move on to our express. We have made room for all of our Democratic family Members. We must win in Nov. to change the direction and future of OUR country.

daniels   May 8th, 2008 9:08 am ET

Good news keep coming.
Go on obama.The nation is behind you.

CW4Barak   May 8th, 2008 9:10 am ET

Great….when is Edwards going to see the light….endorse now….you may get a seat in the cabinet or even the VP spot!

Stop that Woman   May 8th, 2008 9:10 am ET

This may be single….

Common Sense   May 8th, 2008 9:10 am ET

Good…. Next please.

lowentag   May 8th, 2008 9:11 am ET

is he a Superdelegat?

Kaye- Jacksonville FL   May 8th, 2008 9:11 am ET

The unpledged "superdelegates" will steadily endorse Obama, except for those who are politically obligated to go with Clinton. And the news today about Hollywood mogul Wienstein strong-arming Nancy Polosi is just another pathetic reflection on the Clinton campaign. Mathematically, it's over. Go quietly into the good night….

dave   May 8th, 2008 9:11 am ET

This is truly a good sign of things to come

John   May 8th, 2008 9:12 am ET

Does this signify the beginning of the end for Hillary coming on top of the switch by George Mcgovern and the financial bancruptcy of the Clinton Campaign.

If America wants a change and a democrat in the Whitehouse the only candidate with the financial clout and superior nation wide support staff and volunteers is Barack Obama. as for the Michigan votes I believe that in a contested Primary Obama would have won in Florida Hillary probably would have won, the simple answer is to allocate these two primaries Is 55-45 Obama Michigan 55-45 Clinton Florida.

Obama is clearly going to be the Nominee, the quicker the party gets there the Better the chances of the Whitehouse,
LETS GO FOR IT NOW
I cannot see Hillary as the VP however a senior position for Hillary and Bill in Obama's cabinet would seem to be a really good strategic move by the Democrat's which I could support whole heartedly

But it is clearly inevitable that it will be an Obama : McCain match up in November.

jcm from Tampa, FL   May 8th, 2008 9:13 am ET

Barack Obama is running a great campaign; he is breaking records in donations to his campaign; what is really happening is that the American People are making their voices be heard; I’m making 25 dollar donations to this campaign every time I can; I want that money to be spent in all kind of advertisement. If we outspent Hillary 3 to 1 it is because ordinary people getting together can accomplish extraordinary results. Barack is the new guy in the block, but he has been around for over 20 years in politics and people who know him are giving him their support, that is why is important to deliver his message to the whole country and to the world, so, he is not the new guy in the block.

stay +   May 8th, 2008 9:13 am ET

It may take more time than people would like, myself included, but when Obama stays positive and sticks to his message it does work and more people will come to his side. I think he is initially weakened by the old school political attacks and gimmicks but, when people have a moment to consider the situation, they are impressed by his principled approach.

Great news and many more superdels to come I'm sure.

stay +

Xavier, St. Louis, MO   May 8th, 2008 9:14 am ET

Welcome aboard a winning campaign! My only question to you also is, what took you so long :)?

YES WE CAN!

Alex Smith   May 8th, 2008 9:14 am ET

and now the floods gate open…..about time the democrats stopped fighting when everybody knows who the nominee is going to be.

Florida Voter   May 8th, 2008 9:14 am ET

Is he a SuperD? Welcome aboard regardless!
And by the way… Get off the FL and MI nonsense already! Hillary can brain wash her supporters but she cannot brain wash the folks who knows the truth about those States!
Hillary KNOWS the penalty for violating the RULES! Yes folks RULES you break them you pay! Its NOT Sen. Obama's doings rememer his name was NOT even on the Ballot in MI so please tell me Hillarious Supporters HOW in gods earth is THAT fair!!!! Now that Hillary is LOSING! She wants to re write the rules mid stream! GET OVER IT!!!!!
ITS DONE!!! HILLARY IS TOAST!

Jewish Women for Obama   May 8th, 2008 9:14 am ET

If he's not a superdelegate, then this is pretty useless…
Too late, buddy! You missed your chance to make an impact!
At this point, we pretty much don't need you or Mr. Edwards…
But for the sake of party unity…. Welcome to the winning side!

Debbie   May 8th, 2008 9:16 am ET

The DNC should force all of the delegates and super delegates who's states have voted to put in their vote. If your state has voted what are they waiting for. Their excuses are up just like Hillary's are for staying in the race. She's staying in because anything can happen. Why would you wish something bad on a person. Or do they know something already. Politicians and the media are working very hard to keep Obama out of the nomination. I hope something happens that would hinder her. Its a joke to believe that she would help Obama.

Daniel Kamau Obama   May 8th, 2008 9:17 am ET

ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!

Common John Edwards. Make your own decision, we are not asking you to join the flow, just make the reasonable decision.

Barack Obama Maniac!

Paid for by Daniel!

NoMoreBillorHillaryClintonInWhiteHouse   May 8th, 2008 9:18 am ET

way to go what about John Edwards what is he waiting for is he afraid of his wife or the Clintons. Time to end this contest John.

Emeka, Florida   May 8th, 2008 9:18 am ET

Hope is not blind optimism. I wish Hillary could listen to that speech once again and be able to draw the line in her campaign.

sharrell, dc   May 8th, 2008 9:18 am ET

Way to go!!!

Emeka from Houston, TX   May 8th, 2008 9:18 am ET

Too late for the Edwards….

Peter Damoah-Afari   May 8th, 2008 9:19 am ET

Thank you David. You are a trustworthy person. I hope the undecided superdelegates will come out of their shelves and act as men and women of integrity.

God bless Senator Obama!
God bless Democratic Party!
God bless America!

Ethiopians for pres. obama   May 8th, 2008 9:19 am ET

Love obama to death

You Know Who   May 8th, 2008 9:19 am ET

Watch the clock, tick, tick, tick. Our man Obama: Most states won, most delegates won, most popular vote won, and pretty soon…..most superdelegates won. Did any one notice oncly 10 difference between Obama and Clinton? It's narrowing steadily. I love this. Clinton, the fat lady is singing. Time to exit gracefully.

Paul   May 8th, 2008 9:19 am ET

it is time for cliton to exit! this endorsment is the farewell party sign for her to quite. I love her but we have to unite!

nancy   May 8th, 2008 9:20 am ET

Good man David Bonior. Now just have John Edwards come forward to endorse Obama and the world will sing. Do you really want someoe in the White House (Hillary) who will not listen to anyone but herself (sound familiar). Stubbornness and "MY way or the Highway" is how the White House has been run for the last 7 years.

GO OBAMA

J Chisolm   May 8th, 2008 9:20 am ET

Wow! Now that's impressive!

Angus McDugan   May 8th, 2008 9:20 am ET

How in the world did we end up with this grab bag of candidates for the most powerful office in the world? Hillary is a lier, Obama thinks he is going to change the way Washington works, and McCain (more to come later on him).

Johnny Be Good   May 8th, 2008 9:20 am ET

I see this only as the first as the flood gates will be opening soon!!!!! Way to go NC and IN. The news is very different this morning than it has been the last 16 months!!!

Oh, to my fellow Obama supporters, give the name calling a rest. We won and now is the time we work on getting the HRC people in our cornor and on our side. Let's show them who Obama is and why we support him. We need the HRC people. Without them we as a party are doomed to a 3rd bush term. Really, who what's that???????????????

Red   May 8th, 2008 9:21 am ET

Wow, this is just sad. Could he really think that (a) the Dem superdelegates would listen to him or (b) his listeners are that stupid (snicker, snicker)?

Rose   May 8th, 2008 9:22 am ET

John Edwards will be coming soon!

I am pleased to know that all of the democratic superdelegates are not cowards. clinton/obama? It matters not for whom you vote, just do it. Say it loud and say it clear. Have a backbone for a change. Let's get this show on the road.

Obama 08.

Emma   May 8th, 2008 9:23 am ET

Who cares about Former Rep. David Bonior endorsement? Senator Obama has won North Carolina……..John Edwards take your ball and go home. You tried to blackmail Senator Obama and he would not play your game.

How dare Tim Russert suggest that the Obama campaign help Senator Clinton with her campaign debts. I suggest that Hillary Clinton return to rural America, over 50, white and uneducated and ask them to donate the $28.00 they would have saved from the suspension of the gas tax. They were gullible the first time and I am sure Senator Clinton can convince them to help her out, after all her $109M would require liquidation and she certainly doesn't want to lose her $28.00 a second of interest.

Senator Clinton threw the kitchen sink at Senator Obama, I now think it is time for the Obama campaign to turn on the garbage disposal……..don't you think?

Jan from Boca Raton, Fl   May 8th, 2008 9:24 am ET

I have been a democrat for 40 years, but this election I will vote
for John McCain. I will never vote for Obama as I DO NOT believe
in him. The media can say all they want that Hillary supporters will
unite the partybut let me tell you they are dead wrong. The people that
supported Hillary did so because the absolutly do not believe Obama
is qualified and has too much anti american baggage. If Obama wins,
I can and many other can say when he screws up, we DIDN'T vote
for him.

Marc   May 8th, 2008 9:25 am ET

Join the family Rep. David Bonior.

Barb   May 8th, 2008 9:25 am ET

I wonder what David Bonnier thinks about the controversy regarding the Michigan primary mess. His former staffer, Mark Brewer is the state party chair. Too much game playing and over intriguing going on in Michigan.

It would serve them right if their delegates never got seated. But that would hurt in the general election. If McCain taps Romney to be VP, he will definitely put Michigan in play.

The stranglehold of the old, organized labor pols that helped screw Michigan up in the primary will have small effect in delivering a vote for Obama.

Bonnier is going with Obama bcz he needs to stay relevant. I wonder what Obama had to give him to get him. Waiting is really not a bad thing.

Time is on Obama's side. With all these supers. There is nothing to be desperate about, certainly. If I were Obama, I'd wait , and let them come to him. These people have nowhere else to go and it will cost Obama less to wait.

Same with the older white women who support Hillary. Will they actually consider voting McCain or not voting at all, with the possibility of two Supreme Court appointments coming up on the next president's watch? I doubt it. If Bonnier is a super delegate, this is good. If not, it is "so what." I don't think Bonnier has much influence over Edwards. In fact, I'd be willing to bet on it.

Craig in Atlanta   May 8th, 2008 9:25 am ET

The ball is rolling for Obama and Clinton is only working to disenfranchise her supporters from voting the first black man into office instead of her being the first female President. As a republican who originally thought he was going to vote for a Dem, Clinton's campaign only confirming my originally beliefs that Dems are only out to hear themselves talk instead of actually making changes. If you want to beat McCain you need to back Obama and work for the support of the entire party or else 4 more years for my registered party…

Hay   May 8th, 2008 9:25 am ET

Lets get this done. Hillary is done. Bow out now. It would be nice to see her be gracious about something once in her life. I detest poor sportsmanship !!!! I detest lack of morals. And I hate her holier than thou attitude!!!

Michelle, Indiana   May 8th, 2008 9:25 am ET

Thank you, Mr. Bonior for taking a stand. Is Former Michigan Rep. David Bonior a superdelegate? If Mr. Bonior is endorsing Senator Obama, will John Edwards be making an announcement any time soon? I think his decision could finally put an end to the delusional charade this Primary season has become.

It's time the superdelegates removed the fence polls from their backsides and do what they were chosen to do - make a decision. They can put an end to this, but fearing repercussions, they won't do that. I think they need to look at the fact that their fear of making a decision brings their re-electability into question. Who wants a politician that can’t make a decision even with most of the facts already in and a clear choice to be made? If they can't take a little criticism for their choices, then they should not be in politics.

How can so many so called Democrats be sabatoging our party like this? Obama will NEVER be president. We hate him and no one can change that! I do!n;t know about the rest of you but Florida democrats stand ready to squash Obama like a bug in the general election! I love my country too much to allow it to be bought and paid for by foreign interests, which is behind obamas financial success. My country is NOT FOR SALE!

OMG   May 8th, 2008 9:30 am ET

Good news!. And what about Edwards? Given the victory in NC, I would hope he pledges his 26 delegates to Obama. I respect his and his wife's split feelings about the candidates, but every delegate counts, and the Dem's are trying to bring this primary season to a respectable close.

Edward's backing and delegate pledge could help a great deal.

BTW Edwards would make a great Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare……..a cabinet post with great power. Certainly as much as he has as a private citizen running a foundation.

Yes we can!   May 8th, 2008 9:32 am ET

Let the remaining states vote and on June 3rd Declare Obama the Nominee….Florida and Michigan will then be seated and Obama pick the right VP that will help unify the party and bottom line, BEAT MCCAIN IN THE FALL…….

shelly in IL   May 8th, 2008 9:32 am ET

The endorsments, "Clinton said this about Obama" and everything else (the news) is reporting is good and everthing, but I want to know when are we (the people) are gonna get a break on this gas thing?

I mean seriously, what the H*LL is going on? The gas in IL is above $4 and still going up, therefore who and what are they going to do about this gas hike and how soon!?!?

Can someone, in the Media, please ask the politicans qestions about the gas? Enough of the other stuff for now, please do this story!

Joan   May 8th, 2008 9:32 am ET

I am glad to hear this!! I hope John will too but I know Mrs. Edwards is for Hillary or at least was and maybe it is out of respect for his ill wife.

Anyway I'm glad Bonior did and I think in about three days we will see lots more of the superdelegates coming on board.

Good for him, Edwards hasn't endorsed Obama because he wants to be the VP and Obama must have someone else in mind. Why should Obama put him as VP when he has already made Kerry lose.

Cheryl L. Swaim   May 8th, 2008 9:33 am ET

Beat her while she's down. What a despicable thing to do to a good Democrat who's fought for the disenfranchized, represents the core values of the party, is a unifying senator, and would make a terrfiic president. What a bunch of jerks the Democrat elites are! That's why I won't vote for Obama.

Wonderful Rep. Mr. David Bonior! Smart people get it! Congratulations!

Ok people let explore those "experience" thing people hung themselves upon:

- If one is experienced driver, one knows how much gas ones car/truck takes, and when and how to top the oil, etc.
- if one is a homemaker, one knows what items that are needed for the home to function, food items, utilities, etc. One knows how to maintain family budget
-if one is working in a plant, one understands the processes and proceedures
- if one is working at in a fastfood chain, one understands how much "freedom fries", breads, etc are needed per day
- when you are in for audition, for American Idol, acting role, etc, your performance determines if you have what it takes

The question how can HRC claim the she is such an "exprienced" candidate, when she cannot maintain campaign budget? No corporate manager will ever recruit an executive that demonstrates such a result! Objectively speaking, I cannot trust any person cann't demonstrate organisational, leadership, financial and business acumen with such an importat position as USA Presidency! Primaries gives a reasonable insight how a person can perform in the office!

All these silly little side stories like

Peter   May 8th, 2008 9:37 am ET

Aa a former Canadian resident, now living in Spain, I have been enthralled by the ups and downs of your very exciting Democratic Party elections for Presidential nominee. In my view your party is fortunate to have had such strong candidates. One, Sen Clinton the establishment's original choice; the other a relatively unknown Sen Obama, an African American who has excited a large number of individuals not only in the US but also around the world.

In the 1970`s, a young French Canadian lawyer stunned everyone in Canada with his nomination as leader of the Liberal Party ( Democratic, sort of) and went on to defeat the Conservative ( Republican, sort of) older and more experienced candidate in the General Election. He inspired a new age of young voters with his vision and desire for change and went on to be regarded by many as one of Canada`s great Prime Ministers.

The parallels with Sen Obama are obvious.

I will watch the Obama vs McCain contest with great interest to see if history repeats itself south of the border.

George, Mason NH   May 8th, 2008 9:40 am ET

As an Independant who has decided to vote for Obama, this marks the first time I will have ever voted Democrat.
I usually vote third party or Republican. So I consider my self an outsider looking in, for almost every election.
But I have never seen anything like the divided loyalties with in the Democratic party this time around.

I have to say, I am not impressed at all.

Zero unity

Zero commitment to the party (with voters threatening to vote for McCain if their candidate doesn't win),

Zero integrity in many of the arguements made for campaign mangement. (IMO largely by Senator Clinton's campaign).

Zero chance to win in November if this continues.

ReElectNoOne   May 8th, 2008 9:40 am ET

Are we Americans going to let two nuts,Wright and Limbaugh determin who wins this election? They have absolutely nothing to say about jobs, health care home security,bringing troops home.changing the strangle hold special interests have over our goverment. They only have racial end divisive remarks and or trying to cheat the election process by urging republicans to vote for the democrat they hope to defeat.
Its a shame we cant put them both in a sack and throw them into the the trash where they belong

Lucyna   May 8th, 2008 9:42 am ET

Although I am a strong Obama's supporter, I do admire Hillary for her strenght and I believe she would be a good president. If she would rung for the president 4 years ago or 8 years later, I would definitely vote for her.

Enlightened voter   May 8th, 2008 9:43 am ET

What a surprise…………But honestly though these supers aren't stupid and for the sake of the party they are trying to do the right thing. To the Clinton team and supporters - do what is right for the country. Wait for the rest of the elections are over if you must and then do the right, enlightened thing for the good of this country that you 'claim' you care so much about.

Lee WV   May 8th, 2008 9:43 am ET

Now everyone says she is holding out for VP.I won't vote for any ticket with her on it.

Ron M.   May 8th, 2008 9:43 am ET

This will likely open the floodgates for the rest of Edwards' campaign staff and volunteers to make the leap. It is a good idea to join while she is still in the race, because that will increase their chances of getting a job in January.

WB, PSL   May 8th, 2008 9:43 am ET

We love Hillary and Bill to death, but I strongly believe it's time for senator Hillary Clinton to call it quit. Conceding to Senator Obama does not defined you as been weak, but as a fighter ready to unite the democratic party and put an end to the Republican BAD leadership rule.

Indo Tadka, Korea   May 8th, 2008 9:43 am ET

Why not Edwards? Now it is time he shows some sense of judgement othewise his endorsment at later stage would not count.

You lost with Edwards and now you're going to lose with Nobama.
Nobama can not win against McCain.

Women for Obama   May 8th, 2008 9:43 am ET

Very nice, but this is just one more endorement that means very little. The only endoresements that matter at this point are those of the superdelegates.

Obama and Clinton are probably going to split the remaining states. I'll tune in to this whole endorsement thing once enough supers weigh in.

Atty. K.   May 8th, 2008 9:44 am ET

Keep the superdelegates coming!!! Go Barack.

Martha Biggs   May 8th, 2008 9:44 am ET

How exciting for this Obama supporter! Certainly many Edwards backers — like those in my Kansas caucus — gave their support to Obama. However, at this point, Clinton needs to make the move to end this nominating process so that Dems can focus on the general election. Super delegates cannot afford to alienate large parts of their constituencies by coming out for either Obama or Clinton until the race is decided by some other means. Super delegates are stuck; Clinton must make a move — or we will continue this divisive primary season.

proud army and navy mom   May 8th, 2008 9:45 am ET

IF   May 8th, 2008 9:45 am ET

Great! Maybe Edwards will follow suit and that sorry spectacle of Clinton's blindness will be over and the democrats can move on to engage McCain.

I can't figure out whether Hillary just can't take no for an answer (even from so many voters) or if her purpose is darker… trying to ensure Obama doesn't get her supporters votes in the GE, so she can make a move in 2012 (after all McCain is less likely to serve a second term than Obama).

From what I've seen of the lady, this darker alternative is the more likely.

Ed from VA   May 8th, 2008 9:46 am ET

Woohoo! And so the trickle continues. Hopefully Edwards himself will change his mind and decide to endorse (Obama) as well. All aboard the Obama Express! Next stop - 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!

WHAT IS HE OFFERING?

GO HILLARY!!!!!

marcelo   May 8th, 2008 9:47 am ET

As an Obama supporter, I think all these endorsements should wait until the primary season is over and here's why:

1. Clinton deserves a chance to finish out her bid for the White House

2. Allowing Clinton to run her course will give her supporters a sense of closure

3. The time will give Obama a chance to work on his fall campaign strategy and work the democratic base into a strong and unified coalition

For all you Sen. Clinton supporters, KUDOS. You ran a good race and I think the whole democratic party is stronger for it.

Damion K. Miles   May 8th, 2008 9:53 am ET

Everyone knows that Barack Obama is the Democratic Nominee. Everyone knew that a long time ago. Everyone was afraid to come out and go against the Clintons. Which, given the Clinton's power in DC, was not the wrong move to make. The party must be unified.

To Hillary Clinton Supporters,

Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama had their differences, this is true. But, to say that you would rather vote for McCain than Obama is asinine. Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama saw eye to eye on 90% of the issues that they fought about. McCain doesn't see eye to eye on anything. Why would you rather get none of what you want than 90% of what you want? It doesn't even matter what the issue is. If somebody is offering you 90% of something and 50% of something, you'd take the 90% everytime. Think about it for a minute…

pam Eugene OR   May 8th, 2008 9:53 am ET

John and Elizabeth, what are you waiting for? It's about time. Thanks Mr. Bonior. The Democratic Party is more than one person ambition or ego. Enough is enough. Bring on MR. TEMPER (John Mccain ).

JON DOE [TEXAS]   May 8th, 2008 9:55 am ET

What surprises me in all this is that the "super" delegates are afraid to do what effective leaders do. Effective leaders make hard decisions that will lead their followers down a path that is best for all. It is apparent that Clinton intentions are to divide the Democratic Party and the "super" delegates are refusing to do what best for the party overall and end this insurrection of Clinton to hand the presidency to McCain.

Julie mn   May 8th, 2008 9:55 am ET

the Pajama Pundit   May 8th, 2008 9:59 am ET

Drip, drip, drip….

I think that we are going to continue to see a steady stream of SuperD endorsements for Barack Obama. I would guess that it'll be an average of three or four per day for the next couple of weeks.

The best thing for Hillary to do now is to continue to spread her message while on the campaign trail - but to keep it positive. Any attacks on the Obama campaign will start make her appear like a sore loser. If she stays positive with her message, I think it will go a long way towards healing and uniting the Democratic party.

ocaidel   May 8th, 2008 10:00 am ET

Something makes me think H.Clinton is staying on to divide the party, well, i am happy that people like Bonior are endorsing Obama. Clinton should get out now she still has the grace of doing that, if not she might have to do it shamefully.

Sammy   May 8th, 2008 10:00 am ET

Why are Democrats such whiners? I'm yet to hear any Republican say that they don't like McCain therefore they are going to vote for the Democratic nominee. And I'm particularly appalled at all these women who won't vote or will vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't get the nomination. Are these women going to be content with lower wages because McCain doesn't believe women deserve equal pay as men? Or are they goignto whine, as usual? Democrats should grow up!

Randy M   May 8th, 2008 10:00 am ET

This is the start of the floodgates opening. I believe the SD's now feel comfortable enough to go to Obama and not have to worry about upsetting the Clinton's. Everyone knows this race is over now and it's more about letting Hillary recoup her 11 million in loans than her getting the nomination. As much as I don't like her politics, she put up a heck of a fight. Now, let's get behind Senator Obama and maybe we can see something different out of Washington.

Democrats aren't afraid if Obama is the nominee as Hillary and the Republicans would like us to think. Rewind the tape from Bush and McCains debate, that's where the democrats real ammunition is against John McCain. Democrats think about it.

Do you honestly think that the Clinton supporters will unite if Obama is elected?????

Obama supporters cant believe that Clinton supporters will not back Obama if he is nominated….
I see it all over the boards.."time to unite"…oh the Clinton supporters is just saying that…they will come around…

I GOT NEWS FOR YOU….CLINTON SUPPORTERS
will cross party lines and vote for McCain…and you better believe the swing voters and independents will vote for McCain……Hillary has a better chance of to defeat McCain…..but oh these Obama supporters…si idealistically pathetic following an EMPTY SUIT WHO IS TO LIBERAL and not MODERATE!…

So if Obama supporters think that Clinton supporters will back up Obama if he is nominated….think again!!!!

you cant fathom the logic, cant believe it, find it stupid that we will do this

as a Clinton supporter, all I have to say is ..
whatever…………………go back and drink your koolaid! and be prepared for handing the whitehouse to McCain…if it is obama!
