John Edwards Endorses Barack Obama for President

Source: my.barackobama.com

Big news from Grand Rapids, Michigan... John Edwards has endorsed Barack Obama for President!

Watch the rally in Michigan LIVE at CNN.com/video now... 

We'll have more on this critical endorsement soon.

In the meantime, please make some calls to Oregon and Kentucky -- we need everyone to get involved and help increase our delegate total. We only need 25 more pledged delegates for a majority of pledged delegates and your voice can make a critical difference in the elections next Tuesday... Yes We Can!

UPDATE: Barack just sent out this email...

Friend --

I have some very exciting news.

My good friend John Edwards is endorsing our campaign and joining our movement for change.

We're here in Grand Rapids, Michigan -- and if you receive this message in time, you can probably turn on your TV and be part of the moment.

I'm deeply honored by John's support. He is a true leader who dedicated his career to improving the lives of ordinary Americans.

John ran a strong, principled campaign for president, focusing on a number of important issues where we share common ground -- universal health care, bringing our troops home from Iraq, and eliminating poverty in America.

The way he ran his campaign was also important. He ran in a way that reflected our shared conviction that we need to fundamentally change politics.

Like our campaign, John's campaign never accepted donations from Washington lobbyists or special interest PACs.

Let's welcome John Edwards to the campaign with an outpouring of the kind of grassroots support that is bringing our political process back to the people.

Make a donation of whatever you can afford now, and if you choose, include your own note to Senator Edwards. I'll make sure he gets them:

Thank you for all that you're doing,

Barack
