Craving An Endorsement

Not a surprise:

At a Los Angeles news conference, Obama said that he has specifically asked Edwards for his endorsement, although "we haven't had specific conversations about an Obama administration.... He and I share a fundamental view that it is not enough to just change political parties."

The Obama campaign is courting Edwards' supporters heavily.

I figured that Edwards dropped out before Super Tuesday in order to allow Obama enough time to gather Edwards supporters, but he decided not to endorse Obama, in order to keep his options open in the event Hillary wins the nomination. Now, it will be interesting to see what Edwards does. He has to act today, or tomorrow, to have much of an impact. In any event, watching Hillary distort history regarding her vote for the Iraqi war in last night's debate was enough to chase most Edwards supporters into Obama's camp.
