John Edwards endorses Obama
After Hillary’s ‘big’ win in West Virginia on Tuesday Obama’s campaign needed a little bit of massage to revive the Senators standing as front runner.
Step in John Edwards. Former Democratic contender and all round nice guy to help out.
To a packed crowd in Michigan Mr Edwards delivered a glowing speech endorsing Obama:
“There is one man who knows and understands that this is a time for bold leadership…there is one man who knows in his heart that it is time to create one America, not two - and that man is Barack Obama.“
