Well, there goes any chance I'd ever consider voting for Edwards again.

That's a neat and tidy little endorsement, nicely timed to take the sting off of last night!

I think the superdelegates turned over voters's will. The blue-collar voters didn't want Obama, why Edwards wants to bring them to Obama???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

That's the way to take a stand... wait until you know for sure which way the wind is blowing, then jump right in!

This is truly a disappointment. Edwards was very respectable, but now he's lost any chance of running for president.

Hillary '08

John Edwards is slime. How dare he endorse the person who did not take any special interest money--the very platform on which John Edwards ran. What a joke. Ah, I'm just kidding. Trying to do some advance dirty work for the Clinton crowd who are about to throw mud at him.

im sorry people of hillary land, im sure everyone will wait till june 3rd before pulling the plug on your little fantasy.

Especially after Oregon....poor hillary, oregon is going to be a tough pill to swallow

Nice looking team. Obama/Edwards '08

Well, what do you expect? Edwards is the next Vice President,!! Blue collar people...welcome on board!!

Was there really any doubt about this endorsement. Let's heal and move one.

a little too late, but still made for the right person

most of his supporters went to Obama after he left, of course if he was going to choose this was the logical one.

Golfgirl - get a grip... The superdelegates are supporting the will of the people, of the majority, rather than overturning the demographic that you seem to deem most important.

Funny, everytime Obama loses a major race, they trot out some big SD. The fix is in, folks.

It's ABOUT time

So I wonder when Gore's going to come out and endorse.

What a surprise....one elitist endorses another.

Again a brilliant and respectable politician supports Obama.Tell the Clintons the market is over!

Edward cannot give the blue collar working class to Obama. Edward is another politician that want to turn down the will of people. Nobody cannot help Obama to bring back the working class except Hillary.

"Nice-looking team," you bet. I've been waiting for that working-class hero to endorse Obama, and perhaps join the ticket. Go Edwards.

The faces of the future.

Hillary is yesterday's "news."

This is Breaking News? For this I get an email alert?

Near 50% of Democrats in swing states now say they will vote for John McCain or not vote at all.

This is game over for Barack Obama if he can't swing these voters.

I guess the Bitter people are striking back at elitist Obama.

Thank you John Edwards! I am sick and tired of the under-educated and the intolerant among us holding this nation hostage. I'm sick of them being the ones who set the tone and the agenda for this country.

How well has prejudice, ignorance and intolerance served us these last 8 years?
I believe all of us are important to the national debate; all of us belong at the table.

No one group or demographic should be more important or louder than the next.

The superdelegates are only holding back out of respect for Clinton. She lost already, fair and square and all this dysingenuous whining about Mi and Fla fools no one. Apparently, her supporters need some time to deal with their grief as well.

Great news for Obama. This is a good step to unifying the party for November.

I knew that Edwards was an idiot, this just clinches it. I didn't like Edwards as a presidential candidate and now I really don't like him.

I was wondering if he was going to pick a side or not. I actually thought he might stay out of it till the Convention...

Edward is turning his resume to Obama for the VP.

This whole political process is sickening. I thought Edwards would remain neutral.

It has been all about supporting and endorsing who will get you the furthest politically. They are ALL out for themselves.

This is NOT a different type of politics...it is business as usual. Give me something to believe in...get rid of them all.

who?

i can't believe Edwards... Yesterday He said He wasn't going to endorse anyone until the votes are over!!! Today He goes and gives it to Obama... you talk about a real loser!!! I'm so glad I didn't vote for Him in the first Place... I sure would have voted for Him if He won this part of the election... Now i would never vote for him if He ever ran!!!

What a sell out....Elizabeth is the better candidate anyway.

Looks like Johnny wanted to see who would for sure win before jumping on board. He sold out to his "working class" voters for an "elite" politician. Watch, Edwards will be his VP.

I think the superdelegates will start to move in a flood toward Obama; this endorsement may have broken the dam.

Surprised Obama will accept it since Edwards also voted for the war. It is simply amazing what people will do rather than let this run its course. There was only a few weeks left. Guess Obama's ego couldn't take another bruising like West Virginia.

What does Edwards want...the VP?

An Obama/Edwards ticket?
Unbeatable.

Wow, I'm disappointed. I was an Edwards supporter from the start. Clinton's health care plan is more similar to Edward's than Obama's. I wonder what promises were made. I'm beginning to think the Democrats don't want Clinton because she's not a "yes man" for the party good ol' boys.

Mr. Edwards - you've always had my utmost respct - UNTIL TODAY! Why is everyone trying to stop the DEMOCRATIC process??? Let the people vote and let those votes count.

I wouldn't have a problem with this if he wasn't on Larry King MONDAY night swearing he wouldn't endorse anyone.

"I think we have two great candidates. I have such an extraordinarily high opinion of both of them. You watch sort of what's happened in the past, I think that some of the endorsements as opposed to helping unite have contributed to the divide. And what I don't want to do is contribute to the divide. I mean, we had a primary in North Carolina where I live. I live in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I voted in that primary. So obviously, I made a choice in that vote. But at least for this moment, I think the reasonable thing for me to do is let voters make their decision." ~ Senator Edwards

Lots of pure disdain for Obama is NOT because he is black, it is because he is a democratic elitist that looks down on parts of America.

We don't need a person like Obama to divide the nation.

We don't need him & his racist clan like Jeremiah Wright & the Black Panthers roaming the White House.

We are not bitter Americans clinging to guns & religion.
WE JUST DON'T LIKE YOU BARACK OBAMA.

Why vote for a divider like Barack Obama, when there is a great patriotic war hero that has always loved his country on the ballot.

I will never vote for Obama if he is the last democrat on this planet.

My whole family will vote for John McCain.

Wow. I'm surprised at the low-brow attacks on Edwards. You would think that this website was full of Republicans.

You think people would respect the choice of the former senator from North Carolina where Obama won by 17 points. This just happened last week too.

To all Democrats unhappy with Obama, VOTE MCCAIN.

Good bye Democratic party! They're going to back an extreme tax-and-spend liberal who is already trying to give away 875 billion of our tax dollars to third world countries. That would be fine if we didn't have enormous poverty, a collapsing infrastructure, a faltering educational system, and myriad other problems right here. And everybody wants to jump on this idiot's bandwagon for their personal gain!

Great News! Edwards is brilliant and can deliver the South, 2 great young men versus McBush the 3rd,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Obama an elitist? Give it up. What does that make HRC? Queen, Empress, Roayl Grand High Dictator for Life?

Those two fellows really look nice standing together.......

It's nice to see this country rally behind unity and diversity......

Such a pleasant thing.....

Edwards, You are the greatest! THANK YOU!

Well, now its all over. Let's move on.

Edwards is a SELL OUT!!! Edwards was talking the same BS about poverty that Obama talks about unity. It's all politics and power! I will never vote for Obama!

Better late than never! Time for the Democrats and Independent to unify behind one candidate!

I'm an independent who will be voting Democratic for two reasons:

1) Bush, the man with the reverse-Midas touch (everything he touched turned to dust--the economy, the war, the environment, etc.).

2) Obama, the man who made politics seem interesting again. The enthusiasm for change around where I live is phenomenal.

God bless America! God bless Obama!

For Edwards to time this the way he did, is just wrong.

I have lost all respect for this man.

For Michigander,

It's amazing how the state of Michigan breaks the rules and it's Obama's fault.

People have the most inane reasons for disliking Obama. It tells a lot about one's character.

i can't believe Edwards... Yesterday He said He wasn't going to endorse anyone until the votes are over!!! Today He goes and gives it to Obama... you talk about a real loser!!! I'm so glad I didn't vote for Him in the first Place... I sure would have voted for Him if He won this part of the election... Now i would never vote for him if He ever ran!!!

No one here seems to be focused on his delegates...doesn't he have something like 25 still assigned to him? He also has the official endorsement of the Coalminers and Steelworkers Unions,both of whom said they were waiting for his endorsement before supporting another candidate...this IS much bigger news than just changing the news about WVA

This is a good endorsement at the right time -- I wondered why he didn't come out before this, but this works perfectly. Most Edwards supporters in my state and that of one of my daughters have already go over to the Obama camp -- in Connecticut & Pennsylvania so this is appropriate.

Democrats, let's unite now and go crush, CRUSH the Republicans for a generation! We need to pull this country from the brink of disaster.

It is obvious the DNC and the superdelegates have sold out the democratic base. I do believe the negatives against Obama will prevail and he will still loose the GE.

John edwards is a smart man. He knows Hillary has no chance of winning and face it who wants to be a team w/ a loser. We keep talking about how Hillary can get the white vote, what about the votes of the minorites in this country are they invisible. Thats why other countrys don't like us because the white people in this country think they are elite. Hillary can't win w/out the black vote and trust me she won't get it!

Although it took a long time, thank you John Edwards.

John,

She can't win w/o the black vote!!! She has no chance in 2012.

Where was Edwards when his endorsment may have meant something. Nice move but too late. Who is Mr. Biden for?

Come on Hillary supporters if she is not the nominee, please, please vote for McCain for President.

McCain for President!!

Hillary 2012!!

What's with all the hate oozing from the Hillary side? It's been a hard fought race, Hillary put up a good fight, but Obama has recieved won more states, more pledged delegates, more individual votes, raised more money (from small donations) and not has the support of more super-delegates. Oh and he polls as well, or better against McCain as Hillary does. What measure or justification do you have in order to make the argument that Obama shouldn't be the nominee?

I'm not surprised if Al Gore endorses Obama, all those losers endorsed Obama, Kerry, Kennedy, Richardson, Edwards...

But I still hope Al Gore endorse Hillary, because Bill Clinton promoted him to VP.

No matter what happens, I'm for Hillary all the way.

I don't think Obama will win in general election; even if he wins, I don't think it wll be good for the country.

I've already seen several times, the winner made the country so bad!!

We need to change the election process:

1) whenever someone declares to run predidency, we need to fully vet him first. Imagine, if we vetted Obama from the beginning, he can not stand here today, he could not have momentum.

2) Whoever runs presidency campaign, he should be a influential person among the same level of persons as other candidates. Obama is just a below average US senator. How can he be an international leader so easily?? US president will be international leader, remember.

Politics of Change! Ha,Ha,Ha
The list of presidential wannabee LOSERS in Obama's camp continues to grow! The Big Boys do not want a girl taking the White House from them!

Edwards? AAAAAAnd he is???? Aaaaaand he's accomplished???

When somebody in the Democratic Party that has previously gotten as far as Obama and Hillary in this Primary endorses anybody let us know...

This is as good as Gravel or Kucinich

Good. He made the correct choice. Hillary has LOST! Her and her pathetic little supporters can go cry off somewhere in a big black hole for all I care.

OBAMA IN 08!

well, now there are 2 men I would never vote for.

I bet Liz Edwards would rather see Hillary in office...

And my vote goes to McCain. It's time for a change back to a checks and balance system. We've had nearly 7 years of a one party system which is dangerous territory. Even more dangerous when we have a democratic congress and an inexperienced president - too much havoc possible.
Our Democratic Congress will make sure none of the predicted doomsday scenarios will occur if we have a Republican President. And he will provide an experienced and respected person which is what we need.

I am one of those leaving the Democratic party, not because of Clinton, but because of the dirty politics the party, Obama and the media have played.

A warning to all: this is the media which sold us Bush1 term, Bush 2 term, and Iraq.

Len, blacks make up only 12% of the population, Latinos are more, we'll make up the difference.

Latinos and Asians will not vote for Obummy!!

Edward's endorsement and the huge win in Oregon next week are the end of the Clinton campaign.

All you endorsers make me kind of sick - your endorsements are worth so little, particularly since in the case of super delegates, your vote does not even come into play until the convention. We know each and every one of the supers is going to actually vote then for whomever looks like they have the best chance for winning the general election, regardless of whether or whom they might have "endorsed" previously. For those who have endorsed Clinton in the past, and have flip flopped since then, shame on you - she is the same person now that she was then. You are only putting your mouth in the same direction as the wind blows, and if something happens between now and then (which already has in the WV "Clinton trounces Obama") you will flop-flip back. You are a bunch of self-interested hacks and your endorsements mean nothing to me and really should mean nothing to anyone else - you should quit pandering and allow the people to elect a president, not your meaningless valueless weaseling endorsements. Turncoats!!! Fair weather friends is the nicest epithet you deserve.

Senators Edwards,Kennedy, etc. (I used to like the Kennedy's but Teddy, you suck, you hypocrite!): don't bother running for anything again - you have shown your colors and no one, especially me, will vote for any of you again - we now know beyond doubt that you never mean what you say and you don't walk your talk. We're onto your game and it doesn't fly with this citizen, and probably a lot of others like me.

Oh, don't worry. Hillary will just add a few more delegates onto the total that the nominee has to get, or she'll find another state result or consituency that "proves" she should be the nominee, or find another rule to agree with then break, or she'll find some other non-issue-oriented fight to pick with Obama - maybe over flags or where his suit is made, or something. Don't you worry at all.

Edwards was my original favorite for the nomination. Then after he dropped out, my preference moved to Obama. I'm glad to see that he's finally chosen a side.

Exactly what is the problem Hillary supporters have with Obama other than he clobbered her in a primary election??

I don't understand?

Edwards, like many superdelegates and democrate voters, are anxious about closing this internal fight. It's time for the family to be united and plan for November.

It's Hillary or McCain...NEVER EVER Obama. I will work my a%$ off to make sure BHO and his wifey and reverend NEVER touch the White House.

And the blood of the soldiers and Iraqis is on your hands.

Well. Obama is racking up those unelectable presidential candidates like wildfire.

First WV is not a major elections. It's simple rules are rules. Remember 2+2=4 not Michigan and Florida. If Edwards endorse Hillary. Her supporters would being say, see another "working class" which is a new term for White has endores CLinton. Wear is the fat lady? Get her on stage please.

If your going to talk, at least get it right. Hillary Clinton had no problem with the fact that michigan votes were not going to count, she signed the damn form, she knew this before the first vote was going to be cast. Now because things are not going her way, she wants to change the rules. This is what you want the democratic party to be known for "changing the rules" after everyone agreed to the rules. Yes change the rules because your not winning that is what we want in our President. Someone who loves to cheat. Like husband like wife!!!!!!!!

I want the person who tells the truth. Hillary changes her story every state she is in, we can see it in her eyes. So, how many of her promisses would actually come to fruition if she wins? Look into her eyes, she says what people want to hear. Look at Obama's eyes, hear his voice, tell me who will delivery on their promisses. His walk matches his tone. Make a choice not because you like what you are hearing but because who know you are supporting what is right and ethical. I am tired of lying canidates. How many times does Hillary lie in a day? a week? a month? Or John Mccain for that matter. Soo many holes in their stories. They couldn't find holes in obama's so they had to make up stuff about his past, which has been proven as 100% lies. Research, find the truth out and do what is right for you and for our country!

Remember the General Election won't be held like the caucuses and state conventions were where reportedly Obama supporters were practising voter intimidation tactics (check out real live footage for proof). Also in the General Election winner takes all for each state. Voters get to vote privately and all votes are actually counted in November (imagine that). Obama is only ahead in delegates because he has cheated the system. Most of us know this even the Obama supporters. This is a dismal sign for what kind of President he would make. Hillary 1st choice, McCain 2nd choice, Obama: not an option.

Obama, Edwards and Richardson! the Three Amigos!!
Hillary to make enchiladas at banquets

All you haters....

Suck in in and up....

The Fat Lady has just song....

Re: comments saying this is overturning the will of the people, Obama is winning the popular vote. Do a little research before you spout off ignorance.

Okay people. Overturning the voter's will? He won more states. She won big states.Each state counts.The country just has exciting democratic candidates. No one has cheated anything. It's just that Obama has done the unexpected. Stop complaining.

My sentiments exactly, timothy.
Most Hillary supporters will absolutely vote Mccain if Obama is the nominee.

It appears Edwards is yet another opportunist (akin to Richardson) who would rather jump on the potential cabinet post bandwagon, than hold firm to his principles.

Such sore losers, these Hillary fans! Both candidates sought the endorsement. Calling Obama an elitist means nothing - all of the candidates could be considered elitists, as they are all millionaires. Superdelegates historically never wait until the race has ended to endorse. Hillary and her whiny supporters are doing damage to her credibility and her potential for future endeavors. Maybe we really will be able to move beyond the Clintons once this is over. How will all the Hill fans react when she is out campaigning for Obama??

Obama is a phony and his wife is NASTY!!

All these Hillary supports are hilarious. The only argument women ever make for Hillary is that "she is a woman". That's the only thing she really has to offer... Unless of course there is sniper fire coming at her!!! I'm glad Edwards did the right thing, although it does seem to me like he waited until it was obvious.. not very courageous, but better late than never.

A true insult to all Americans. The endorsement comes in MI the state he helped disenfranchise by blocking the revote. Tell me again MR. EDWARDS that you're for middle class Americans. You're a true politican in every sense of the word.
