Edwards Supporters for Obama

Is there any remote doubt who, between Clinton and Obama, would carry on John Edwards' compelling vision for economic equality and other issues? Edwards was the candidate who drove Clinton and Obama on their respective domestic and international policies and had the strongest withdrawal plan for Iraq, the best plan to combat global warming, and the most comprehensive universal health care plan. Though Sen. Clinton would make a fine president, she represents the Washington elite and status quo that Edwards has been fighting against.

The best candidate for us Edwards supporters now to back is Sen. Obama, who had the foresight to see that the Iraq War should have never been fought and who shares Edwards' commitment to limit the influence of corporate lobbyists and special interest groups. We Edwards supporters can still make a difference in this race and continue his vision -- but now do so through Obama and his compelling, exciting campaign for changing this country fundamentally.
