The coveted John Edwards Endorsement

Right now, flying below the radar of the mainstream media, there are talks about who Edwards will endorse. Although this is not being covered dilligently, I think this endorsement can be very crucuial in either allowing Obama to clinch the nomination or it can keep Clinton in the race.

The alarming news, if you are an Obama supporter, is that Edwards met Clinton on Sunday and the meeting with Obama Monday was cancelled. I am not sure if it was some scheduling conflict or some form of political gamemanship. I hope it is the former.

  I think that this endorsement would be important because Edwards can appeal to lower class white males who are a part of unions, the so called lunch-bucket liberals. According to sources tied to Edwards, Edwards likes Obama's ideas on campaign finance reform, but believes that Clinton talks more about issues that resonate with the working class.
 
 

Now for my own political soapbox. I supported Edwards in the primary, but would be very dissapointed if he endorses Clinton. She seems to represent everything that is wrong with the party and Edwards had very harsh words for Clinton during his campaign. It would, IMO, seem hypocritical if he endorsed Clinton and some may impugn on his motives and think there was a backroom deal for a VP slot or cabinet position. Let's hope for the best and say he endorses Obama or just stays mum.
