“There is one man who knows in his heart that it is time to tear down that wall and make one America, Barack Obama.”
As reported by Jack and Jill Politics and The NY Times, John Edwards Endorsed Barack Obama today.
AAPP: Democrat John Edwards endorsed former rival Barack Obama on Wednesday. I think John Edwards may be the right running mate for Barack Obama. Joh Edward endorsed the day after defeated Obama got his clock cleaned in the West Virginia primary by Hillary Clinton. Some say the West Virginia loss highlighted Obama's challenge in winning over the "Hillary Democrats" - white, working-class voters.
Edwards, received thunderous standing ovations when Obama introduced him to a crowd of thousands.
Edwards sounding like a blue eyed soul brother said, "brothers and sisters, we must come together as Democrats" to defeat McCain. "We are here tonight because the Democratic voters have made their choice, and so have I."
He, Edwards even mentioned the "P" word, saying, Obama "stands with me" in a fight to cut poverty in half within 10 years.
AAPP: It's about time that someone talked about poverty in America. Are you as concerned about poverty in America and the fact that the Presidential candidates need to address it?
