Apparently not feeling the love for his 2004 running mate, John Edwards, Sen. John Kerry is going to endorse Barack Obama today.
According to the Boston Globe, "Kerry, who announced last year he would not again seek his party's nomination for president, believes his Illinois colleague "has the best potential to bring about transformational change,'' said the official, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak about the endorsement before Kerry makes it official in Charleston today."
For his part, John Edwards said "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. I continue to believe that this election is about the future, not the past, and that the country needs a President who will fight aggressively to end the status quo and change the Washington system and to give voice to all of those whose voices are ignored in the corridors of power."
