Edwards endorses Obama
Posted: 05/14/08 05:32 PM [ET]
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) bounced back from a trouncing in Tuesday’s West Virginia primary by securing the coveted endorsement of former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.).

The Obama campaign confirmed that Edwards was set to endorse the Democratic front-runner Wednesday evening.

Edwards’s endorsement could help quell whatever concerns the remaining uncommitted superdelegates have about Obama’s inability to connect with white, blue-collar voters. Those worries were no doubt magnified by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) landslide victory in Tuesday night’s contest.

Edwards and his wife Elizabeth remained neutral ahead of Obama’s big win in last week’s North Carolina primary, which, coupled with a narrow loss in Indiana, moved the Illinois senator much closer to clinching the nomination.
