It means nothing. The dems have already shoot their own foot - they have no way out. What a pity to lose a general election in a year that any dummy could have won, but it was possible for the dems to pick up the only person they could find to lose.

On the other hand, the reps were able to find the only person on that side who is going to have appeal to the dems side.

Most "less-educated bitter" voters will go for McCain.

This isn't news. It's been known for weeks and maybe months Obama is the presumptive Democratic nominee.

Edwards endorsement only amplifies that fact.

Great News

This endorsement doesn't mean anything. I'm trying to figure out what these people are drinking. The reason why Edwards didn't do as well in the primaries is because people remember the last election. Hillary might want unity for the Democrats but so much hurt and dissing has been going on that it will be hard for unity. I think independent candidates will draw more voters this year than last time. As a Hillary supporter, everytime something like this happens to change the subject from what Hillary is doing, it angers me to no end.

It means one thing, if Edwards ever runs for office again, there is no way that I will believe he is for the working person, or the poor. If he was, he would have endorsed Hillary.

I hope people will remember these people in the future and when they go on their politcal speech making trips, their words aren't worth 2 cents. Just politcal talk.

Edwards is just like other rats who have jumped ship, full of hot air.

ONE LOSER ENDORSING ANOTHER LOSER. Edwards is trumped by PEOPLE POWER.

The West Virginia resounding defeat of Obama was an expression of PEOPLE POWER that proclaimed Sen. Clinton is the Democratic presidential nominee. The PEOPLE POWER of Sen Clinton's victory trounced the pro-Obama biased media. Superdelegates who are endorsing Obama daily in an end run around the Democratic nomination process to swipe the nomination for Obama should ponder seriously the PEOPLE POWER that buttresses Sen. Clinton. Edwards, Obama and his superdelegates are taking the Democratic Party down the path of a train wreck in November.

LOL whatever...matters to LOTS of people....

When working-class people clearly expressed dislike one candidate overwhelming, how would Edwards, who claimed himself the one fought for working-class people, stand agaisnt the will of working-class people...

Unless he was not the one he claimed...

Who's John Edwards? So he wants to be Veep - don't you mean Creep!

SM-what's going on? how come the news isn't covering this???

Hillary will take it to the convention floor, she has taken Obama's thunder from his early election victories and once she wins the nomination will springboard into november. It ain't over till its over and that ain't till August. Obama's thunder is gone he's dragging in the fourth quarter. Don't look at the pledge or super delgate numbers look at the map amd compare the states hillary has won to the won obama has won then you can see that only she can win in November.

Shame on ABC for letting the Obama campaign control the content of the nightly news with their live feed. Hillary's remarkable victory in W.Virginia, and the exposure of serious deficiencies in Obama's electability, was wiped off the screen. Was ABC just manipulated or is ABC on the Obama bandwagon? Neither is acceptible.

Hillary is ahead in the popular vote as of last night. The DNC insiders awash in the Obama war chest are overturning the popular vote.

It means they lose in the general election. There will not be a united Democratic Party because of the misdeeds of the DNC. Let it roll.

McCain is not Bush.

So that polecat, John Edwards, endorsed Obama???? What's in it for him?? ROFLMAO - Bill Richardson must be shaking in his cowboy boots!

Rise, Hillary, Rise!'08

Edwards need a job, ever since he was on the losing ticket in 2004 he hasn't been able to win one election.

Now obama's in Michagen looking for their votes, that seems strange since he fought to prevent a democratic primary in Michagen, yea, thats what you call just plain rude. he's got some nerve. but don't worry the GOP won't let him off the hook that easy. There gonna say to the voters of Florida and Michigen oh yea now he wants your vote but in the primaries he fought to keep you from casting your vote. Stupid is what stupid does..

I think Edwards waited this long because he wants a job. It won't be VP, but it will likely be a cabinet appointment. If he was really on BO's bandwagon all this time, he would have come out before PA or IN, when it counted. It took NO COURAGE to endorse this late.

I don't blame the guy, but I stand by my assertion. The democrats are making a huge collasal mistake. The only way out now is to persuade Hillary to be on the ticket. And I am not sure she will do it, frankly, I don't know if I would. I don't see him winning.

WELCOME jOHNNY BOY IT TOOK AWHILE , BUT IT WAS WELL PLAN ,HOW ABOUT BARACK PUTTING EVERYONE ON HIS CABINET.

THE QUICKER HILLARY BOW OUT , THE BETTER CHANCE SHE GETS A NICE POSITION IN OBAMA CABINET, AND EVEN PUSH SOME OF HER ISSUE , AND UNITE . TONITE IS A GREAT START.COME ON CLINTONS LETS GET TOGETHER FOR NOVMEBER.

Vanessa is right. This has no news values. John Edwards couldn't bring voters and lost in his own state for John Kerry in 2004. He doesn't mean very much at all.

Mr.Green Barack Obama will not win this year. Too bad.

Funny how all the men who failed in their Presidential bids have lined up behind Obama--Kennedy, Kerry, Richardson, Dukakis, McGovern and now Edwards! My take is that Edwards' endorsement is a desperate attempt to save the man's face after a thorough spanking by the woman at WV.
It will have as much impact on Obama's chances with core voters as did the much-touted Kennedy (and Kerry)endorsement in Massachusetts where HRC won by 15%, and as Oprah's and Caroline Kennedy's endorsements had in California where HRC also won.
Poor Democrats! They hastily chose a nominee without vetting, just to spite the "Clinton dynasty?" only to find that he cannot get the support of core and necessary groups of the voters they need to win in November. A nominee who is mathematically ahead but who was chosen mainly by African Americans, college students and their professors.
Now they scramble to help him in a futile bid to avert an inevitable defeat for the Party in November with an Obama candidature. Poor Democrats!

i have one better john edwards supreme court justice.

first person Obama appoints for supreme justice. Mr. John Edwards.

compassion and understanding.

Why would Hillary want to sully her image with working class voters just to do all the work as VP to Obama? You know he'd be calling on her for help (like he did in the debates) and then take credit for her wisdom.
