Well, it seems like some people in the Obama camp may want to mislead you on this, so I want to let everyone know that John Edwards has endorsed NOBODY at this time.
Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards did not endorse another candidate for president before today's Super Tuesday primaries despite an avid courtship by his former rivals, especially Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
You may have seen a misleading diary title here or there. If a story I heard from another blogger is correct, the Obama campaign may even be making fundraising calls and incorrectly telling Edwards supporters that Edwards has endorsed their candidate.
The fact remains that Edwards has endorsed NOBODY at this time.
John Edwards Endorses Nobody for President, "Nobody who takes their money and defends the broken system is going to bring about the change that you need."
Watch the Video!
NOBODY is asking Presidential Candidates:
If THEY want War, where will THEY get the troops, and will THEY bring back the DRAFT ?
Nobody in the current Democratic field has never taken money from lobbyists. Nobody has experience standing up to entrenched corporate interests. Nobody has made poverty the cause of their life. Nobody is giving voice to the voiceless.
Nobody speaks for me!
Sadly, in this current presidential race, Nobody speaks for me. (John Edwards did.)
UPDATE: For anyone who does not believe the report about the Obama fundraising call, please see the following comments from bettync in the thread below:

I received a call from an Obama fundraiser.... (10+ / 0-)
I politely said I was an Edwards supporter, and was waiting to see who Edwards would endorse.
The caller said that Edwards had endorsed Obama. I told him that this was not true and that he should not tell people false information.
The young man politely told me that "It must be true because it is written on my sheet." I said I was certain it was not, and he said.... "....but it is on my sheet."
After I had hung up, I wished I had thought to tell the guy to do a quick google search and see that I was telling him the truth. The fellow who called me sounded young, and was very polite.... but believed whatever the handout/script he was working from said.
I also wish I had asked the guy if his script came from the Obama campaign, or from some volunteer group he was working from....

I blogged about it down thread! (6+ / 0-)
I got the call. I let Senator Edward's staff know what was said.
I wish I had stayed on the call longer, and asked if the "fact sheet" the fundraiser had was supplied by the campaign or by his volunteer group.
I don't know what Edwards will decide to do. He may decide to endorse someone. But nobody should say he has until he does.
