Edward endorses Obama

Edwards ended his second bid for the White House in January after failing to win a primary. After this tragic defeat, Edwards has finally come out and given his support to presidential hopeful Obama. His endorsement will likely boost Obama's support among white, male and working-class voters, groups that have shown strong support for Clinton. Edwards has also shown support for Clinton by praising her for her commitment and strength, “"She has shown strength and character, and what drives her is she cares about working people... and men and women in Iraq. She's a leader in this country, not because of her husband, but because of what she has done”
