John Edwards endorses Obama.

If you watch the news, you already know this, but given the nature of what I write, I absolutely MUST give this a highlight: Barack Obama has finally earned the coveted endorsement of John Edwards!

In essence, this is no longer a primary campaign, but a general election campaign. Otherwise, this rally would have taken place in either Oregon or Kentucky, yesterday.
