Get the party started!

From Michigan Liberal, a bit of wisdom for the day:
This big news, former Sen. John Edwards’ endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama for President of the United States, signals what philgoblue of WestMichiganRising said to me right after the rally: “I think the general election started in Grand Rapids today.” He’s right.
Josh Marshall's take:

We seem to have arrived at an equitable compromise: Sen. Clinton is staying in the nomination race while Sen. Obama drops out to move on to the general.

And, of course, the Democratic Party is quickly unifying around Obama. He's picking up ever more endorsements, from superdelegates, elected officials, and unions. The longer this goes on, the more of a foregone conclusion it is that Hillary has to concede. Which means that it will that much sadder when she actually does.
