Obama/Edwards ticket?

Forget about Hillary Clinton's lost Presidential hopes, now it looks like she has lost any possible Vice Presidency hopes also. Today, in Michigan, John Edwards officially endorsed Barack Obama for President. This is mostly an apparent political move because Edwards obviously was waiting things out until it got obvious that there was a presumptive nominee. This endorsement is the final straw that broke the camel's back for Hillary Clinton's campaign.

This endorsement is much more important than people realize simply because Edwards represents the voting bloc that Obama has struggled with the most; white blue-collar, suburban voters. I feel that it's no surprise that Edwards endorsed Obama the day after a land-slide victory for Clinton is West Virginia. This definitely puts a huge dent in any possible Clinton momentum after West Virginia and leaves Senator Clinton's campaign on life support and there's not much life to support.
