All Eyes Are Focused On The Only Major Endorsement Remaining:

May 15 (Bloomberg) -- John Edwards's endorsement yesterday of Barack Obama leaves former Vice President Al Gore as the major Democratic figure still on the sidelines in the party's presidential race.

Edwards, a former North Carolina senator who ended his own bid for the nomination in January, said Obama is the candidate who can unite Democrats for the ``fight of our lives'' in the November election.

``The reason that I am here tonight is because the Democratic voters of America have made their choice and so have I,'' he told a cheering crowd of about 12,500 people at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with Obama at his side.

My money says he stays out but if not Barack Obama is his man.
