John Edwards To Endorse Obama

I called this a couple days ago after a very strong hint by the former North Carolina senator.

From ABC:

ABC News’ Kate Snow, Raelyn Johnson, Sunlen Miller, and Rick Klein Report: Former Sen. John Edwards is endorsing Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential candidacy Wednesday evening, in a dramatic attempt by the Obama campaign to answer concerns regarding Obama’s appeal to working-class voters, several senior Democratic sources tell ABC News.

The Obama campaign confirms Edwards will endorse Obama at a campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan Wednesday. The event was originally scheduled to start at 7pmET, but was moved up to 6:20pmET, presumably to have the announcement make the evening news.

And this after he said he wasn’t going to endorse? Looks like he wants this thing to be over, and soon.

UPDATE:
Here’s a little video…

More as it develops…
