John Edwards Edorses Obama

On Wednesday John Edwards endorsed Barack Obama. If you didn't believe me before, it's become ever more clear that the race is over. A few nuggets of election info:

-With the exception of Al Gore, John Edwards was arguably the most sought after endorsement. Not only is he a prominent member of the party, he brings Obama credibility with white, working class voters.

-This signals to the16 delegates Edwards won that they should support Obama.

-Of those 16, nine have already publicly moved to support Obama

-The delegate gap between Clinton and Obama is now about the number of superdelegates that are still on the fence.

Is there any any chance Clinton will get them all? Not likely.
