If any of my fellow Edwards supporters remain hesitant, it's time to stand up and support Barack Obama.

I've been one of JRE's strongest (some would argue "most obnoxious") supporters. I believe that he would have, and someday may be, a great president. I trust his intellect, judgment and sincerity. I've known him for many years, he is an authentic human being who cares deeply about this nation. And when he speaks about Barack Obama, he means what he says.

There were many who said that an Edwards endorsement wouldn't matter. I think that canard has been put to rest. John Edwards will work like hell to help send Barack's moving vans to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and as you will see below, he's putting his (and our) money where his mouth is.

Yes, some endorsements don't matter. Most in fact. This endorsement, my friends, is a brilliant exception.

Here is the text of an email I received from John:

John Edwards may abstain from endorsing today. But I shall not.

Once again, John Edwards gives an object lesson in framing and fighitng.

Congress passed a funding bill. Bush is doing cartwheels in anticipation of vetoing it. Who's not funding the troops, again?

OK, glad we're clear on that.

Whether you support John Edwards for the Democratic nomination or support someone else, we'd all be wise to learn from his argumentation skills.

Here's the statement (emphasis mine):
