“This is who we are. This is our moment.”
In Grand Rapids, MI, tonight, John Edwards finally picked a side, endorsing Barack Obama:
“This is our time to take down these walls to close our divides and build one America that we all believe in. If you want that, if you believe in that, then join me in helping send Barack Obama to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
“Because what all of us believe - what all of us believe – is, in this America that we love so much, no matter who you are, no matter who your family is, and no matter what the color of your skin, none of those things will control your destiny. And that that one America that I’ve talked about is not only possible, but it will be achieved under President Barack Obama starting in January of 2009.”
The big question is whether Edwards’ 19 pledged delegates (from IA, SC, and NH) will come with him. If they do, it’ll be a significant bump for Obama's already substantial delegate lead.
Will Edwards' nod help solve Obama's widely-touted "blue-collar voter" problem?
What does Elizabeth think? (She was conspicuously absent tonight.)
Will Obama pick Edwards as his VP? If he did, would Edwards accept?
