Former presidential candidate John Edwards is poised to endorse Barack Obama’s candidacy for president.
Edwards was to appear with Obama in Grand Rapids, Mich., today as Obama campaigns in a critical general election battleground state, according to an Associated Press account.
UPDATE- Clinton Campaign Chairman Terry McAuliffe issued this statement concerning Edward’s endorsement of Obama.
“We respect John Edwards, but as the voters of West Virginia showed last night, this thing is far from over.”

if the edwards endorsement resonates in kentucky and

Clinton has to totally crush Obama in the last few primaries to have any chance. Polling for those states says that ain’t gonna happen.
What is the point of 60% the primaries at all? Why bother to have them? For the citizens of those states why bother to vote?
Apparently in a “not-close” race the second and third place candidates are supposed to quit after New Hampshire, certainly by Super Tuesday.
In a close race such as we have the second place candidate is supposed to quit in March no matter what, (apparently).
Why should West Virginia, Oregon, Kentucky and Indiana even get to vote? Why is the purpose? Why not make those elections illegal? I think the press would approve.
Obama is not going to get enough delegates to win the nomination at the convention without the “super delegates” who used to be known as the “back room”. So therefore there should be a true convention. That was what conventions were invented for. You vote for your candidate on the first ballot and then you have a true American debate and get on with the business of electing a candidate.
