Edwards to endorse Obama

Posted: 05:08 PM ET

Edwards will endorse Obama, CNN has confirmed.

(CNN) — CNN has confirmed that former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards will endorse Barack Obama shortly at a Michigan campaign event.

The endorsement could help Obama reach out to white, blue-collar voters — a demographic group that Obama has failed to capture, most notably in the recent Pennsylvania and West Virginia primaries.

Edwards received 7 percent of the vote in Tuesday's West Virginia contest.

The former North Carolina senator had campaigned on the message that he was standing up for the little guy, the people who are not traditionally given a voice in Washington, and that he would do more to fight special interests.

After dropping out of the race on January 30, Edwards asked both Clinton and Obama to make poverty a central issue of the general election and a future Democratic administration, something both agreed to do.

MD Houston		May 14th, 2008 5:09 pm ET Maybe he will explain why his Houston office flies a Cuban flag with Che on it?

BIFF, BIFFINGTON...		May 14th, 2008 5:09 pm ET I THINK THIS IS IT… I THINK IT'S EDWARDS ENDORSEMENT………..

mjaber		May 14th, 2008 5:09 pm ET What is the announcement????????????????

Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah		May 14th, 2008 5:09 pm ET NEW NEWS FROM: HUFFINGTON POST: The Obama campaign has announced a "major national endorsement" for a rally tonight at 7pm in Michigan, and the rumor mill is swirling that it is none other than Sen. John Edwards. Time's Mark Halperin is teasing as much at his Web site, with a photo of Edwards and the text, "Ready to choose? Ready to hope?" Edwards has certainly dropped some hints in recent days. He's chided Hillary Clinton over her comments about race, said he can't figure out how Clinton could ever win the nomination, and even said he planned to endorse the person he voted for in North Carolina's primary, using (it seems) the word "him."

Peter		May 14th, 2008 5:10 pm ET And the Edwards endorsement goes to…….

Spencer Velott, Oregon		May 14th, 2008 5:10 pm ET I hope the announcement is that Bill Richardson is his running mate!

Charlotte		May 14th, 2008 5:10 pm ET Yea, he is dropping out? That would be a major announcement and a welcome one.

Linda		May 14th, 2008 5:11 pm ET What ever it is I hope it blows Hillary Clinton out of the water.

Go Obama		May 14th, 2008 5:11 pm ET I hope it isnt he will pick Hillary as vp OMG that would be endgate

Adam		May 14th, 2008 5:11 pm ET Hillary as the running mate. That's my guess.

Ronald		May 14th, 2008 5:11 pm ET Edwards endorses him putting him over the top for pledged delegates! And, Hillary agrees to "suspend" her campaign. Yippee!! (Well, .500 isn't bad.)

Mike from Westchester		May 14th, 2008 5:11 pm ET How about a crazy wild guess………… Obama/Clinton '08

NY Dem		May 14th, 2008 5:11 pm ET Exciting!! Fired up, ready to go! Obama '08

Nunya		May 14th, 2008 5:11 pm ET The obvious thing that leaps to mind is his choice for VP…

Dems `08!		May 14th, 2008 5:12 pm ET HILLARY AS VP I BET… O GEEZE…….

Dennis		May 14th, 2008 5:12 pm ET I'm guessing it has something to do with seating Michigan's delegates.

Lynn		May 14th, 2008 5:12 pm ET It must be Gore or Edwards are going to come out to endorse him. Everytime he loses, he comes back with something example the little kid that noone wants to play with and he has ice cream for everyone so they will play with him. Both Gore and Edwards are losers.

Kelby		May 14th, 2008 5:12 pm ET I think it is the Edwards endorsement.

Marc in DeKalb, IL		May 14th, 2008 5:12 pm ET … good lord. It better not be Hillary as a running mate, but given the fundraising agreement and such… I'm better it is. I think I just threw up in my mouth.

Debby		May 14th, 2008 5:15 pm ET A loser in the general 4 years ago endorsing another loser coming up. They will make a good losing team. LOL

Ron, TX		May 14th, 2008 5:15 pm ET Go Obama!!!

Jeanne		May 14th, 2008 5:15 pm ET Cool! That's a step in the right direction. Of course, it already looked like he was leaning in that direction.

JR Veteran from New York City, NY		May 14th, 2008 5:15 pm ET MY only gues is to proclaim: Senator Chuck Hagel as the VP

faye, NV		May 14th, 2008 5:15 pm ET We are very proud to have you Mr Edwards. You have made my day. Thank you.

slack		May 14th, 2008 5:15 pm ET who cares about edwards' endorsement?????? at this point, anyone would be stupid to endorse clinton; what kind of an endorsment is it when you're already the nominee? please obama do not pick edwards as VP. pick the governor from kansas.

yen		May 14th, 2008 5:16 pm ET I have no idea what he will talk about. While I admire Hillary for all that she is, she is just over staying where she is at. She should be working with obama and not against him.

Steve		May 14th, 2008 5:16 pm ET So?

susannah jones		May 14th, 2008 5:16 pm ET et tu brute?

Paul		May 14th, 2008 5:16 pm ET Mr. Edwards you made a wrong choice, I thought you cared about America. Your wife likes Clinton's healthcare plan better… hmm Hillary we love you and support you all the way!!! We need a Clinton to restore our broken economy FLA and Michigan must count, they are Americans Obama can be your VP until he learns how to do the job. He might eventually be ready in the future. Hillary 08 - Yes you will!!! Puerto Rico, Florida, Michigan, West Virginia, Kentucky & Oregon for Clinton!!! Vote Democrat- Vote for Clinton

John San Francisco		May 14th, 2008 5:16 pm ET I have prepared this Blog for the Democratic Party. We must cease our bickering and divisive politics of pulling down our 2 great Democratic Candidates Ms. Hillary Clinton and Mr. Barak Obama. I present to the Great People of America “United We Stand” May 6th 2008 is this Country, the United States of America historical date in History. On this day, the 2 most qualified Democratic front runners Ms. Hillary Rodam Clinton and Mr. Barak Obama has ended what will be considered by most Political Historians, the most exciting Political Campaigns exhibited in the history of the United States of America. Today we set aside our differences and come together for a higher purpose. On this day, what is required and is at this most urgent time in the history of this country, the United States of America. It is for every Man, every Woman, every National Group, White American, African American, Hispanic American, Asian American, Native American, and Americans of all National Backgrounds. This day is the day that we reclaim our true course in history to restore this great Country to the calling for which its very existence came to be, Yes, today is our day, all Democrats, all Republicans, all Independents, all who love this great Country, today we come together and pronounce this Country mantra, “United We Stand” Yes, United We Stand. This great Country of ours, the United States of America can not afford to delay another day, another hour, nor another moment of division of National Groups that make up this great Nation. Today, the Democratic Party has chosen to move forward with our task to bring this Country together to fight the Fight of Faith. This Fight of Faith will require for all Americans to put aside their personal fears and personal difference. Yes this Fight of Faith that we as a Nation is called to at this very moment of time, a time where this great Country, the United States of America may be on the brink of dissolution. Yes, this day is a day that we, the Citizens of this great country that has from the time of its existence has cried out for Freedom. Today, that very declaration of Freedom is at risk for each and every American. As we move into a Globalization of a Global Economy where we must as Americans compete to stay on the World scene as the Leaders of a Free World, we must on this day say loud, say proudly “United We Stand”. Today, we the Democratic Party must reach out to our brothers and sisters of the Republican Party and reconcile our partisanship that has been the wall of division that has hindered the progress of this great Country. Our fight is not with each American that holds claim to the proclamation of our great forefathers, who with vision foreseen the need of a Constitution our Declaration of Independence to guide this great Country during times of Peace, but at best during times difficult Trials, that at worst threatens the very existence of this great Country the United States of America. We must now stand behind our Democratic Nominee and move forward to take our place in History. Yes we face the uncertainty of tomorrow. We have an Economy that has left thousands of American men and women unemployed and unable to provide the basics needs of food, housing, and other basic needs that require us to provide for our families. We are in the middle of 2 Wars that has cost this country Trillions of dollars that should have gone to the greater good of the Citizens of this great country to create jobs, invest in the rebuilding of our infra structures, and rebuilding of our children’s schools. As a result of our division among Political Parties and National Groups, thousands of American jobs are being shipped out overseas to other countries. Our children are last in all fields of academics, and many families at this very moment are facing the prospects of losing their homes. Who will come to our sides at this time of urgency? A time, where in the next 12 months, China will proclaim to be the New Primer World Power and will continue to abuse the Free Trade that the United States have out of fairness and trust, was willing to open our country ports to the material that China has made and sold to the people of this great Nation. China continues to flood our ports with defective and dangerous products that we as Americans consume to take care of our families. We are Proud, We are Americans Are we to be left behind after over 200 years of embracing the God given rights of Freedom for All men, all women, and all children of this great Country? As a Democrat, today I proclaim my Independence; I declare our right to continue to exist as a Free Country, a Country that we all have given our love in devotion to in order to uphold our belief in a World of Democracy.. Today I ask each American to take a stand today for the very future of our existence depends upon one basic principle “United We Stand, Divided We Fall” God Bless America. See all my fellow Americans at the Voting Polls in November

Tom		May 14th, 2008 5:16 pm ET If indeed it is "John Edwards" would that mean Obama would get his delegates?

Democrat		May 14th, 2008 5:16 pm ET Great - the sooner this thing ends the better - we need to go after McCain HARD!!! P.S. Clinton did a wonderful job on her interview today. She was gracious and thoughtful - made me re-think she'd be an excellent VP.

Linda		May 14th, 2008 5:16 pm ET Thank God for a good man like John Edwards. Way to go John I knew you would step up to the plate and show the world you are the great man I always took you for.

HILFORPRES		May 14th, 2008 5:16 pm ET Why is it John Edwards always goes with the loser????

Lana Castillo		May 14th, 2008 5:16 pm ET My guess is that he will be announcing that Senator Obama and Senator Clinton will join forces to fund the Democratic campaign for the DNC.

CHANGE		May 14th, 2008 5:16 pm ET Its about time!

John Young		May 14th, 2008 5:16 pm ET Say "good night" Hillary.

Hawaiian guy		May 14th, 2008 5:17 pm ET Don't do it Sen. Obama. Let's keep her in the grave that she dug herself into and I'm find just leaving her there. I would support Sen. Edwards as your running mate, but hell no to Clinton. And to all you Clinton supporters, please do the math, she's all done-toast!

Heidi in Houston		May 14th, 2008 5:17 pm ET To MD Houston: There you go again. That was NOT an Obama campaign office! That was a private volunteer office set up on Southmore Blvd BEFORE the campaign ever arrived in Houston. One of the volunteers in that office was from Cuba and didn't realize that the flag would be offensive to anyone. When the local media ran a picture of that flag, she took the flag down and decided to not to volunteer there anymore. WHEN the campaign arrived in Houston, they set up their campaign HQ on Travis Street in Houston and had no contact with the volunteer office on Southmore Blvd. I know - I'm from Houston and I know the whole story. You probably do too since it was all sorted out in the press. You're just trying to float out another stupid rumor, stating it as FACT, in hopes that people believe you and get bad feelings about Barack Obama. Nice try, but you've just been corrected.

Dems2008		May 14th, 2008 5:17 pm ET He won't announce a runing mate. He will probably announce a HUGE endorsement!!

Karin		May 14th, 2008 5:17 pm ET LOL….Obama do this have anything to do with you going along with the DNC to come together with Clinton and the DNC to help with this big bill of $20million of Hilliary…….Did she tell you she want to be VP also….that, you helping her along with the DNC to pay this bill is not enough that she also wants the VP………Man come on ……….I'm really looking for you to ask Colin Powell………..LOL…..

Latinos for Obama 08		May 14th, 2008 5:17 pm ET Alright Edwards!!!!!!! I wanted you to go further in this race but I am happy you are supporting obama now thanks.

Jane		May 14th, 2008 5:17 pm ET John Edwards is about to endorse Obama. It's 5:22 and the race is over. I'm so sorry that the Democratic leaders just don't get that Obama won't win in November. I'll vote either way, even though, in my gut, I don't think Obama is the best candidate.

@americans		May 14th, 2008 5:17 pm ET It's about time! If only Hillarious will DROP OUT and endorse OBAMA, life would be great! OBAMA '08 - YES WE CAN!!!!

Lisa		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET Good for him!!!

People, I Introduce you to		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET President Barack Obama.

Abdulweli Farah		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET He had dreamed last night being in White house as the commander-in-chief.

This side of the Mississippi		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET Wwwhhoooo doggy! This stuff get's better every day! Rock the vote in Nov.

yael		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET Shame on him.

April in Texas		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET All I can say is WOOT@!!!!!! Its about time and I thank you John Edwards as its been a long time waiting for you to make the correct decision! Obama 08/09

MF		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET And to think I once had some menial respect for Mr. Edwards….It's gone! Hillary or Mccain all the way!

Ricardo		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET YES WE CAN!!!

Keyser Sose		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET One has to wonder why he waited so long.

republican		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET HILLARY FOR VICE PRESIDENT!!!!

chinaman		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET finally! about time mr. edwards!

MM		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET It's about time! But it is still great!

Gaby		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET That is the best news I've heard all day! I'll be back in a bit, I'm going to jump for joy for a while. Thank you!!!!

Theo Varelas		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET does this mean he gets edwards pledged delegateS?

Sue, Bloomington, IN		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET Thank you Senator Edwards!!!! Yes!!!

Charlotte		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET The Edwards endorsement wont change my vote in November, I'm writing in Hillary Clinton. Why is Obama suddenly wearing a flag pin? He wouldn't be pandering now would he? Nah, he's above that

Patrick Blackmon		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET Hopefully he'll announce that he's dropping out for the good of the party. He'll say he needs to learn more about foreign policy; for example, that Canada does not have a president. He'll admit that he jumped the gun and he needs more experience in the Senate, and that he was pressured to announce his candidacy by Kennedy and Kerry because, well, they wanted to fill in the blanks of his blank slate candidacy. Then he'll ask the Democratic Party for forgiveness because he's divided it more than ever. One can only hope.

Dems2008		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET Karin… I would love to see Colin Powell back in politics too!!!

shirley		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET How can anyone expect Senator Obama to choose Hillary for his Vice President? Bill would not and could not keep a low profile, he would have both Clinton's in the White House. He needs to choose another candidate that would be acceptable to Hillary's supporter's.

Darryl		May 14th, 2008 5:18 pm ET Ditto what Faye from NV has said…… Hillary Clinton are you listening……

Carmen		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET Obama/Edwards 2008…The REAL dream ticket. Hooray!

Patriot		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET Edwards endorsement is no big deal. It came too late to have any oomph! It's already 'ding dong' for Hilary; since Obama will have a majority of the pledge delegates next contests. No doubt Edwards was delayed by his wife, when the country was waiting on a former VP candidate to man up and take a stand for America. Guys who can't take decisions can't be good leaders. That goes for Al Gore and John Edwards.

Evelyn Mills		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET Another reason reason to vote for McCain

Debbie IN TEXAS		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET I AM SOOOO VERY DISAPPOINTED. IT'S SO TYPICAL THAT MEN STICK TOGETHER AND WILL NOT ALLOW A WOMAN OF INTELLIGENCE AND EXPERIENCE TO CARRY THE WHITE HOUSE. I MOST CERTAINLY WILL CONSIDER CHANGING PARTIES NOW. AS MUCH AS I DON'T LIKE MCCAIN, I WILL NOT SUPPORT A WEAK CANDIDATE LIKE OBAMA. SHAME ON YOU EDWARDS….SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!

KC		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET Edwards is a weezle. Why did he wait so long…. maybe hoping he would be picked as a vp candidate. What a wus!

Anonymous		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET It's over Hillary! Get out gracefully, don't stretch out this limping campaign any longer!!!

acbs		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET I still have my Kerry/Edwards sticker on my vehicle. I will be putting a great big 'X' over it now. I'm done with them.

Susan, PA		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET What took you so long?

Nancy		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET This is no surprise. Everyone is going to get on the Obama ride now. So I think everyone knew this was going to happen. Most of his supporters anyway were heading toward Obama so big deal. He is not a superdelegate.

C from the D		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET EDWARDS!!!!!! I wonder if he'll get his pledged delegates from proportional allocation?

Jarhead		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET Wonder if we are looking at the sealing of a vice pres. deal between John Boy and Obama???

Time for real change		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET Edwards endorses Obama. More superdelegates endorsing Obama even after the W. Virginia loss. And …. Obama/Hagel is ticket in November.

Miguel		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET Obama-Edwards '08 would be the best of all possible scenarios. THAT would be REALLY exciting and give Obama the blue collar vote.

Xavier, St. Louis, MO		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET And as Edwards goes, so does the election goes! YES WE CAN!

gerri		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET NOW THAT IS GOOD NEWS.. HOPE THIS ENDS THIS AND HILLARY THROWS IN THE PROVERBIAL TOWEL

JD In Austin,TX		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET Heeeey Hillary!! TUuuurn OUt the lights. the Partys ooover!! Obama/Edwards 08!!!!

Dems2008		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET Edwards' wife will come out and endorse Hill later…

elm		May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET Let's hope that it is not Hil-liar-y as a VP. If it is, he must have a death wish. Too bad Obama can't ask Vince Foster if he trusts the Clintons… Oh that is right, Foster committed "suicide" and her aids ransacked his office. NO HILLBILLIES in the White House.

David in Los Angeles		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Edwards is set to endorse the 1st Hawaiian born-and-raised US President, Aloha!!!!!!

Carey		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Obama only has 1883 total delegates. Add Edwards 18 delegates & he still doesn't have the magic number. There are 189 outstanding pledged delegates and at least 200 supers. Hillary is only trailing by 165 — don't let the media fool you, his lead isn't insurmountable. I pray to God people come to their senses about his experience & his odds at beating McCain without even the majority of the Blue states supporting him wholeheartedly.

Peter Kavanagh		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET B'da B'da That's all folks !!!! Obama 08 !!! YES WE CAN !!!

DMWhipp		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Thank you Senator Edwards!

Lana Castillo		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET OR they have come to an agreement regarding delegates for Michigan along with the Edwards endorsement!

Sean from Austin, TX		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Great news! The finish line is very, very near. Possibly, next Tuesday! OBAMA 2008!

California Voter		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Obama needs whatever good news he can find after getting beaten so badly in West Virginia — and now he is courting the poor, uneducated white voters in Michigan after he made sure their votes didn't count in the primary election. As a support of that constituency I guess Obama needed some help. Obama is just a typical politician. Reminds me a lot of Kerry the elitist. HILLARY 08 or McCain!

beth		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Good news– as a former Edwards supporter I'm happy he's chosen correctly.

NEW COMER		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET That is about as useless and the one he got from Richardson. Both are losers and couldn't even win their own states. But it is no surprise the way Obama and Edwards ganged up on Hillary in the debates. He thinks he is going to get the VP slot, if and when Obama wins in the GE. Which he wont. But then he can put it in his resume two loses for VP in one lifetime. His political career will be completely over. If he had back Hillary, he might have had a chance.

Tonybel		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Well, I guess he has been patient enough waiting for Hilary to graciously exit the campaign, but she has NO EXIT STRATEGY. Welcome news for the Obama camp.

Ricardo		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET It was about time. Obama/Edwards 2008

Ruth		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Thank you Mr. Edwards - glad you finally decided. What did your wife say? Now, if Oregon can rain on the Clintons' parade…

PoliticalAmazon		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET I understand he will release all his delegates, too. But please, no "Hillary for VP." That'd be like saying, "Want to go for a swim, Mr. Obama? Here's an anvil. "

Richard		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET What will happen to the 20 or so pledged delegates that Edwards earned early on and from yesterday???

jonny		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Selecting Hillary for VP would be the biggest mistake Obama could make. Second only to paying off her 20 million dollar debt with the money his supporters gave to HIM.

Ryan		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET YES! Edwards for VP!!!!

Dave		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Way to go Edwards!!! Let's wrap it up Democrats. It's OVER!!!

Brian		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET About time that Edwards endorsed Obama! I guess he wanted to see who the winner was first so he could try for VP again. Please do not think of Hillary for a VP Obama, she would greatly taint your compain.

Lisa		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Who cares his vote isn't going to count anyway when Obama loses to Mccain, in the general. It's funny how Obama is campaigning in Michigan and Florida now.

If not Hillary....then McCain		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET I'm done, no longer call myself a democrat. Looking forward to voting independent or republican. Regardless of what Hillary does, the "PARTY" slams her down every time. If I were her, I would leave the party, run as Independent and embrace all the fleeing democrats in our new Independent Party.

Caly		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Maybe Bill Clinton has decided to endorse Obama.

scott C		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Say hello to 19+ more delegates Mr. Obama. Woo Hoo. Erased her 10 delegate gain from WV and added 10. GO OBAMA!!!

James Nelson		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET OBAMA-EDWARDS '08!!!!!!!!!! Now, THAT'S a ticket worth fighting for!!!!!

G		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET JOHN EDWARDS MADE A BAD MOVE, NOW I WILL BE VOTING FOR MCCAIN. BECAUSE OBAMA IS A BAD CHOICE…

grlpatriot		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Too little to late for Obama to change the narrative that he can't win in the general election. West Virginia proved that yesterday.

Votter #1		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET That's very welcome of you Edwards. Welcome to the course of the real world, where the math is untarnished and experts are adhered to.

daniel		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Congradulations to all our american fellows and good luck for november. I am sure that will be a TSUNAMI…

KIR		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Edwards' endorsement indicates that fat lady is finally starting to sing for Obama. If the Clintons can't get the hint from this endorsement, then they're beyond clueless.

Martin		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET It''s about time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LKB		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Oh god so what. He is so yesterday. Probably promised him some cushy job…maybe even VP…. Yawn…boring…

Shawn		May 14th, 2008 5:20 pm ET Way to ruin the surprise! You journalists have to spoil everything:)

Liza		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET Finally! Thank you, Mr. Edwards! Obama, please pick Edwards as your vice. Obama/Edwards '08 = Hot Ticket

Dems2008		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET I agree Edwards could have helped in WV…

Elitist college graduate		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET Hillary Clinton has a new campaign song. Let's sing everyone! "Nah Nah Nah Nah, hey hey hey…"

No Hillary		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET Can everyone agree now that the Clinton era is over?.. Can we all agree now that there is no chance she will be the nominee? GOOD JOB SENATOR EDWARD… THANK YOU FOR UR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY SIR!!!

spencer		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET I don't understand why all the losers are backing a loser in my opinion.(Kerry, Kennedy, Edwards etc. are all losers..Not important at all..)

David		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET I cannot believe John Edwards has endorsed Obama. Edwards has the same health care plan as Sen Clinton not Obama. If Edwards has any intentions of running again someday, he just lost the opportunity. What a hypocrite!

PatriciaG		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET Isnt obama-edwards such a pretty ticket !

jr.		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET I think Edward just whants to tell him we don't have (57), states.

Defector #1		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET Well folks it's time to fold up the Hillary tent and move to the McCain camp. McCain is the only one left to fight the good fight and save our country from destruction. He is well equiped to handle the job of Commander in Chief /President of the United States. Don't put your country in jeopardy vote McCain. A Moderate Republican and a Patriot.

MP-Pennsylvania		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET Thank you Mr. Edwards. You are very welcome.

jonny		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET Obama/Gore 2008!

Linned		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET The winds of change. Hal-le-lu-jah, Hallelujah, Halle-lujah!

woohoo!		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET he must've got those two jet skis!

Nancy		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET Just read all the Obama supporters comments. If Edwards were to endorse Hillary they would be calling him names and saying that his endorsement does not matter but since he is endorsing Obama look at all the "ATTA BOY' COMMENTS

Jay Rod		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET When you are a decent human being people will back you up. I applaud you Mr. Edwards and I applaud Barack Obama for being the decent person he is. He is a once in a lifetime leader and he will make a great President.

ltd1974		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET Wow! Thats goes to show you the direction America wants to go. Obama right, the math has change, and West Virginia ment nothing. Go Obama

Dennis		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET So, my earlier guess was wrong. This is a huge endorsement. I know both Senator Clinton and Senator Obama were both eager to get this endorsement. I thought that Edwards was going to endorse Senator Clinton based on some of his recent comments.

Griff		May 14th, 2008 5:21 pm ET Another loser in November, to John McCain.

Lisa (PA)		May 14th, 2008 5:22 pm ET Yipppeee!!!!! Edwards is endorsing Obama! What fabulous news and a great way to end the day!!!! Go Obama!

Ted in Pittsburgh		May 14th, 2008 5:22 pm ET Good call, Mr. Edwards! My money is on him for VP candidate.

bangzenk		May 14th, 2008 5:22 pm ET Viva obama!!

Shane		May 14th, 2008 5:22 pm ET JUST SO PEOPLE KNOW EDWARDS IS NOT A SUPER DELEGATE. HE HOLDS NO CURRENT POLITICAL OFFICE. THANK YOU

Arkansas Undertaker		May 14th, 2008 5:22 pm ET Well its about time!!!! Good Lord what in the world was he waiting for?

Alice		May 14th, 2008 5:22 pm ET shame on you John Edwards!!!!!!

voter in Virginia		May 14th, 2008 5:22 pm ET I agree with Veteran from New York City. Hagel as the VP.

lynn		May 14th, 2008 5:22 pm ET Edwards…Shame on you

Dario Fortuna		May 14th, 2008 5:22 pm ET This is a good thing, but Edwards should have done it LOOOONG ago. Rather than looking like an honest endorsement of the person Edwards thinks is the better candidate, the pundits will spin it in one or more of the following ways: (1) Edwards had to get on the Obama bandwagon since the nomination is now inevitable, and holding out just looked dumb; (2) Clinton's wins in West Virginia, Pennsylvania & Ohio underscored Obama's weakest demographic, which was Edwards' strongest in the early contests. Depending on what Edwards actually says, it could strengthen Obama in Clinton's main voter pool; (3) Edwards' two home states — both Carolinas, one where he was born and the other he represented in the Senate — went for Obama overwhelmingly. He had to wait for both Carolinas to vote, or else he'd be seen as endorsing contrary to the will of the SC/NC people.

Grossed Out Voter		May 14th, 2008 5:22 pm ET Way to go John Edwards, you already lost once, now you're backing another losing cause. Hillary's policies were so much better, as well as her experience, for your wife's healthcare advocacy, and you're still going to gladhand Obama, this nobody who's hasn't done anything to deserve all the praise he gets. I'm grossed out, but not surprised.

Obama can't get blue collar voters		May 14th, 2008 5:22 pm ET John Edwards is a SELL OUT!

All American--->		May 14th, 2008 5:22 pm ET HuffPost already has it on their website that it's Edwards. CNN is such the dramaQueen channel. Geesh.

KAB		May 14th, 2008 5:22 pm ET WOOOOO HOOOO!!!!! It's totally over now! Thank you Mr. Edwards,now they will come outta the wood works with endorsements, this is one of the big ones the rest of them were waiting for. How long do you think it will be before he is the nominee? I say 1 week. President Obama sounds soooooo nice!!!

Tim		May 14th, 2008 5:22 pm ET Well it's about time.

Jane MN		May 14th, 2008 5:22 pm ET Good timing and great news. Thank you senator Edwards!

MyVideoPartners(dot)com		May 14th, 2008 5:22 pm ET CONGRATULATIONS Senator Obama, you deserve it!

AMW		May 14th, 2008 5:22 pm ET I AM DISAPPOINTED GREATLY TO LEARN THAT JOHN EDWARDS WILL NOT SUPPORT HILLARY CLINTON WITH HIS ENDORSEMENT. I FEEL HE IS WRONG TO ENDORSE OBAMA NOW. I WILL BE 100% BEHIND OBAMA IN 8 YEARS. I AM 100% FOR HILLARY CLINTON NOW. I HOPE HE WILL RECONSIDER. I HOPE ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DESERTED SENATOR CLINTON WILL RECONSIDER. MY FIRST BIG DISAPPOINTMENT WAS GOV. RICHARDSON. BOTH HE AND EDWARDS NEED TO PRAY ABOUT THESE DECISIONS AND LEAD EFFORTS TO SUPPORT SENADOR CLINTON

Adam		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET Another election loser backing Obama. Way to be consistent Edwards. The voters you supposably care about are going in large numbers towards Hillary but you decide to be a snake and put your own political ambitions in front of what the people you are apparently fighting for want. What a politician. Doesn't support anyone until he's sure who the nominee is. Your a snake Edwards, enjoy going down to McCain in November.

yen		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET Every bit of support will help. Good job senator Edwards. It is time for the clinton family to do the same. They have fought a good fight but there is somebody else who is winning.Good bye.

Nate W		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET This is great news.

Deborah		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET Mr. Edwards you are a bit late. We will take it anyway we can get it. Go Obama - Yes, we can.

60 year old white female, Mo		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET HILLARY its over… NO ONE CAN'T STEAL THE NOMINATION FROM OBAMA… Or it Will BE A CIVIL WAR…. Hillary don't expect something will happen to Obama… Are you expecting his death or what? If something happenned to him THE CLINTON WILL BE RESPONSIBLE.. we all know you will do anything to get the nominaton… IST OVER….FOR YOU… GO BACK TO THE SENATE…

Daniel Mayinja		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET HALLELUJAH!

Deb Indy		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET Way to go. Now we need to get Mr. Edwards as VP Still need Mrs. Clinton on board to get out there to get everyone to vote. It appears there is too much hate and we must be united.

Alecia		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET It is entirely too much diversity in the democratic party. As democrats we need to concentrate on defeating the republicans in Nov; not debating over states who didn't follow the rules and protecting Sen. Clinton's feeling. Its timeout for all of these minor details and it is time to concentrate on the big picture- Obama vs McCain. Why won't the democratic leaders take a stand and end Clinton's journey for the nomination?

Janel, St. Paul, MN		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET It's about time!!

anne allen		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET Edwards, the man of the people goes with Obama, the elitist. What a huge surprise…….. guess he wants to be VP.

John		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET I wonder if Edwards got his jet-ski.

DC in Texas		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET Momma, here come that man. Life is great Obama 08

Jeff D, South Bend, IN		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET Well played - he holds off on the endorsement until she gets her (expected) big win in WV, waits a day, then gives his endorsement which will certainly knock WV out from being a top story in politics. Well played John Edwards.

gary		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET Its been a fixed race from the begining. Bias against a woman leader.This country gets what it deserves. I see the change O.B. brought by his supporters, hate, division and racist. Edwards can kiss his — to. This country will wish 2 yrs from now they never had trashed HRC the way they have. She is our only real change.If O.B. gets elected ,put your head between your legs and kiss your — goodbye.The terroist are going to love the invitation to America. I never thought this country was so stupid to vote for a anti-american canidate. You can believe what you want. Time will tell.

Franknskank		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET MD Houston. Can you come up with something new. The office wasn't even an official campaign office. And I'm an anti-Castro Cuban American. Get over it. Say something about his policies or his record in the Senate. This kind of dreck makes you sound like a moron with a 2nd grade education.

Jeff		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET HE CAN'T WIN! Hillary will still be the nominee! And this late in the game it does not matter who Edwards endorses! This thing is going to the convention and if not Hillary will wrap up the nomination in three weeks, then Edwards will sure look awkward! Hillary '08!

clintonsupport08		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET …and when he gets defeated in november by McCain ….Hillary gets blamed , right ?

wordslinger, chicago		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET Edwards, your 15 minutes were up in 2002. Somebody should have told you. There are only 50 states, but Heinz does have 57 varieties of ketchup. Easy to confuse.

Frances		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET And the fat lady just keeps on singing!!!!! Go Obama!

Cathy in Vermont		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET Gee, its about time! I'm glad he is taking this step to unite the party.

radarmel		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET This doesn't matter… BO won't win the GE. He has divided the nation and pissed off too many people. HE WILL LOSE

Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah		May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET TURN OUT THE LIGHTS THE PARTY IS OVER! GOD BLESS YOU HILLARY PLEASE HELP US GET OBAMA ELECTED!

Ali		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET WE LOVE YOU HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Umpire		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET The next big endorsement for Obama will come from Al Gore. Wait for it.

Liberalist		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET I see the good old boys club remains intact no surprise. Hillary you need to run this race as far as you can and kill Obamas chance of a win, and then run independant and forget about the democratic party they have been against you all the way its time they pay!

Hope		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET NORTH CAROLINA PLEASE STAND UP! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Shawn		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET This endorsement will start a cascade effect …. Yes We Can!

Tim		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET I can't help but laugh at the Clinton supporters on this blog. Not all Clinton supporters, just the ones making ridiculous claims on this blog…Hey, I thought about voting for Clinton at one point, but then the choice became glaringly obvious. Time to all get together and stand as one. Enough bickering already.

AZ voter		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET It's about time. The two of them played well off each other in the debates at the beginning. I think he'd make a strong running mate, a way to get some of the "white" vote he's been seeking.

Will Not vote Obama HES FAKE		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET This is really sad. This is a huge disappointment to the DEM party. I guess since our votes don't count then they won't matter much in the general either. Thanks DNC !!!!

You like apples?		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET how you like dem apples?

Ray		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET Wow… nuff said

Very Excited		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET Way to go! Senator Edwards- I always knew you were a smart sincere wise man! I think an OBAMA/EDWARDS Ticket would go a long way !

ITALIAN 4 OBAMA		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET EDWARDS ENDORSES OBAMA!!!. HIS CAMPAIGN IS THE NEW BLUEPRINT FOR HOW TO RUN A SUCCESFUL CAMPAIGN. EVERY TIME HILLARY MUSTERS A GLIMMER OF HOPE, SHE IS NOT ALLOWED TO SAVOR ANY OF IT, NOT ALLOWED TO GENERATE ANY MOMENTUM. BARACK'S PEOPLE COME BACK WITH A CRUSHING BLOW OF THEIR OWN.

Ardnuas		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET Thank you John……. I hope you are a part of Obama's Administration… You would be GREAT as Secretary of State!!!! Obama/Hagel ( I want Chuck Hagel to be VP)

jimmy		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET More hateful and repulsive comments about Hillary. As if she didn't know this was coming. The movement is on… Hillary supporters stick together for her campaign in '12. McCain '08 for Clinton '12

Mark		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET About time!

Karen in Cape Cod		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET There is NO way I will vote for a man with little experience and no answers,who is married to a very ANGRY and prejudiced woman! Why don't you people wake up and see the real world! Both want Hillary Clinton's support, but want NOTHING to do with her otherwise! These people are simply in it for themselves!

MP-Pennsylvania		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET After running kitchen sink politcs, I don't think any person with common sense can suggest that Hillary should be VP. Also selecting VP is up to the nominee. We cannot force Obama for that.

John		May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET Edwads was the first candidate I went to see on the stump this election cycle. Then, and throughout his whole
