Yesterday, the folks at MoveOn asked their members to cast a ballot for their favorite Democratic candidate. The organization had been saying all along that they wouldn’t get involved in the primary until more than 50% of their members favored a particular candidate, and with Edwards out of the race, and the field narrowed to two viable candidates, they decided to pose the question. Hundreds of thousands of responses came in, and the results were overwhelming. 70% of MoveOn members indicated a preference for Obama. So, it’s been decided – MoveOn is officially endorsing Obama, and putting everything they’ve got behind him. And, Obama has accepted the endorsement… If you want to sign up through MoveOn to work on the Obama campaign, just click here.

Still no word from Edwards, but I expect we’ll be hearing something soon. Assuming he encourages his supporters to join the Obama campaign, I think it’s very likely the freshman Senator from Chicago will kick ass come Super Tuesday.

[According to MoveOn, they have 3.2 million members nationwide, and over 1.7 million in Super Tuesday states.]

update: Lisa from Think Local First just directed me to a great list of 12 reasons that Edward’s supporters should support Obama. It’s worth checking out, if you’re still on the fence.
