The word is the Edwards will come out for Obama in an event this evening in Michigan. While the endorsement of the incredibly popular Democrat cannot hurt, what it also brings with it (in some senses) is a cache of 26 delegates.

While I would definitely not expect Hillary to read this for the sign that it is and to gracefully bow out (if that’s even possible at this point), this endorsement could help bring Obama the support that he needs with working-class voters and middle-America.

I know it’s too much to hope for, but maybe this and a couple swings in these next primaries could be enough to put this dog to bed. It’s time to get on with winning the White House back.
