(86) Sen. John Edwards

“We know Sen. Edwards will be supporting Sen. Obama…any minute now….”

The most amusing thing since Sen. John Edwards suspended his campaign earlier today, has been watching all the talking heads betting the house on their presumption that Sen. Edwards will throw his support to Sen. Obama.
