Breck Girl to Endorse Saint Barak

The Washington Post announces that – surprise – John Edwards will endorse Barak Obama tonight;

Former Sen. John Edwards (N.C.) will endorse Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) tonight in Grand Rapids, Michigan, ending a long period of neutrality for the two-time presidential candidate and giving the Illinois senator another boost of momentum as he draws ever closer to the nomination.

The endorsement was confirmed by a source familiar with Edwards’ thinking.

Edwards has long been courted by both Obama and Clinton as he built a considerable constituency during his two unsuccessful runs for president. Edwards’ strength was among rural and working class voters — Obama’s weakest area of support to date in the primary.

So I guess that means that now Obama has “earned” the working class white vote because of his prospective association with John Edwards. Of course, this will make Edwards attractive to Democrats for yet another VP slot and attempt to heal the Democrat Party. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

However, is America ready to turn over leadership of the country to two one-term senators with no experience in either leadership or governance?
