John Kerry: “I’m for Obama”

Oh my. John Kerry will be endorsing Barack Obama. But John Edwards is not crying.

Former Sen. John Edwards
of North Carolina, the third contender in the Democratic presidential
race, was Kerry’s vice presidential running mate in 2004. Despite their
political alliance, the two men were not close personally and differed
behind the scenes on campaign strategy in a race that President Bush
won.

Edwards responded to word of the endorsement with a
diplomatic statement: ”Our country and our party are stronger because
of John’s service, and I respect his decision. When we were running
against each other and on the same ticket, John and I agreed on many
issues.”

Still, this is getting very interesting.
