Edwards Endorses Obama

Both Marc Ambinder and CNN are reporting that John Edwards is endorsing Barack Obama tonight at an event in Michigan. From 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.

Terry McAuliffe responds by, well, by being Terry McAuliffe:

Clinton campaign Chairman Terry McAuliffe said Wednesday that “we respect John Edwards, but as the voters of West Virginia showed last night, this thing is far from over.”

It’s hard to decide which is less relevant at this point: Edwards’ endorsement or Terry McAuliffe’s opinions on politics.
