Today John Edwards endorsed Barack Obama for President. It should give Obama much needed momentum going into Oregon and Kentucky next week.
It is a big boost for Barack Obama as Edwards is very well liked by working class white voters who Barack Obama has had trouble bringing over to his camp. Edwards had finished second in the Iowa Caucus behind Obama in January. He is was John Kerry's running mate in 2004.
John Edwards has said he is not interested in being a vice-presidential candidate again but there have been reports of him getting the Attorney General post in a Democratic administration.
