Obama Endorsed by John Edwards and NARAL

Barack Obama had a good day yesterday. First he snagged the endorsement of the the U.S.'s foremost pro-choice organization, NARAL.

"There are few more tireless defenders of women's rights in this country than NARAL Pro-Choice America and I'm proud to accept their support," Sen. Obama said. "For decades, they have worked in the courthouse, in the legislature, and in the streets to make sure that women have the right to choose. This is a fundamental civil right that I've fought to protect in Illinois and in Washington, that's being threatened by Senator McCain, and that I'll be fighting in the months ahead to make secure today, tomorrow, and always."

The reason I'm here tonight is because the Democratic voters have made their choice, and so have I," he told the boisterous crowd.

"There is one man who knows and understands that this is a time for bold leadership. There is one man that knows how to create the change, the lasting change, that you have to build from the ground up," Edwards said. "There is one man who knows in his heart there is time to create one America, not two ... and that man is Barack Obama."

Now, you know Hillary is probably pissed off about this one. Now all eyes turn to former Vice President Al Gore. Will he endorse Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama? The suspense is better than a novela!!!
