THE SUPPORT OF EDWARDS - WHO IS NOT A SUPERDELEGATE - HAS BEEN COURTED BY BOTH HILLARY CLINTON AND BARACK OBAMA SINCE EDWARDS GOT OUT OFTHIS RACE BACK IN JANUARY.
WHILE EDWARDS SPEAKS HIGHLY OF CLINTON, HE SAYS HE BELIEVES DEMOCRATIC VOTERS HAVE MADE THEIR CHOICE.
JOHN EDWARDS USED TO BE A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
NOW, HE'S ENDORSING ONE.
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.
EDWARDS' MOVE WAS UNEXPECTED-- BUT COULD LEAD HIS 19 DELEGATES TO FOLLOW SUIT.
His choice is my choice too.
I've stood with John and Elizabeth Edwards, they have been great people, great leaders, we have been very proud to stand with them and we'll be very proud to stand with Senator Obama as well.
EDWARDS IS KNOWN FOR HIS ABILITY TO ATTRACT WHITE, BLUE-COLLAR VOTERS A DEMOGRAPHIC OBAMA HAS HAD TROUBLE WITH.
THE ISSUE WAS HIGHLIGHTED WITH OBAMA'S BIG LOSS IN WEST VIRGINIA.
ONE ANALYST SAYS EDWARDS APPARENTLY TOOK NOTE.
He decided he didn't like the story line that was coming out of that, that Barack Obama couldn't attract those voters that are essentially the John Edwards voters, the working-class voters.
SOME WONDER IF EDWARDS COULD END UP ON THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET-- AS A VICE PRESIDENTIAL PICK-- FOR A SECOND TIME.
John Edwards is obviously somebody who would be on anybody's short list but it is premature. I haven't won this nomination yet.
THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN REACTED TO THE ENDORSEMENT BY SAYING THEY RESPECT JOHN EDWARDS, BUT THIS RACE IS FAR FROM OVER. IN WASHINGTON, I'M NICOLE COLLINS.
