CNN reports that North Carolina’s John Edwards has endorsed Barack Obama for president. That’s big.

“The reason I’m here tonight is because the Democratic voters have made their choice, and so have I,” he told the boisterous crowd.
“There is one man who knows and understands that this is a time for bold leadership. There is one man that knows how to create the change, the lasting change, that you have to build from the ground up,” Edwards said. “There is one man who knows in his heart there is time to create one America, not two … and that man is Barack Obama.”
