Edwards to Endorse Obama at 6:20pm

ABC News' Kate Snow, Raelyn Johnson, Sunlen Miller, and Rick Klein Report: Former Sen. John Edwards is endorsing Sen. Barack Obama's presidential candidacy Wednesday evening, in a dramatic attempt by the Obama campaign to answer concerns regarding Obama's appeal to working-class voters, several senior Democratic sources tell ABC News.

The Obama campaign confirms Edwards will endorse Obama at a campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan Wednesday. The event was originally scheduled to start at 7pmET, but was moved up to 6:20pmET, presumably to have the announcement make the evening news.

Sweet.

Can you feel it?

It wasn't easy, but the door is finally closing on the Bush/Clinton era.

GO OBAMA!!!

CNN and MSNBC have their live coverage up already.

Yes we can!

A source close to the Clinton campaign said the Edwards camp gave the Clinton folks a heads up.

"Clearly it's upsetting" the source tells ABC. "He brings the workers" to Obama.

Speaking of endorsements-

Have they sent James Carville out on the warpath yet?

He just gave a statement to either MSNBC or CNN right before 6pm, and I missed it. Maybe they will repeat it later. Someone needs to send Carville a Bozo the Clown wig.
