Half hearted one from Madonna’s ex Sean Penn and another very public declaration from John Edwards. The latter is what the world’s been waiting for since January (to paraphrse the Stone Roses) and comes in spite of Hillary’s repeated wooing of the ex VP candidate.
Is the end in sight yet? Given the protracted nature of the Demnocratic nominatoin contest let’s hope that the infighting hasn’t ended of their chances of wining the White House.

The commentati have finally cottoned on to what’s been obvious for weeks. That Hillary is hanging on in the hope that something horrible will come up in Barack’s way in the last few weeks of the campaign. Thereby swinging super delegates en masse to herself or even causing BO to throw in the towel.

Despite those endorsements, I now endorse Obama for President.

I like this, from Philip Roth (spiegal.de/international), quoted in today’s Guardian Review section:
“He’s an attractive man (ie: Obama), he’s smart, tremedously articulate. And I think it would be tremendously important to American blacks if he became president. It would say something about this country, and be a marvellous thing. I don’t know whether it’s going to happen, I rarely vote for anyone who wins. It’s going to be the kiss of death if you write that I’m going to vote for Barak Obama. Then he’s finished!”
