Florida, Michigan, and endorsing Obama

There are two states where Obama had not campaigned because they violated DNC rules: Michigan and Florida. Now, of course, Obama has to introduce himself to those voters and assure them that they are as important as all the other states.

The only two big names who had still not endorsed either candidate were John Edwards, and Al Gore.

Today, Obama was campaigning in Michigan for the first time and he brought John Edwards with him. Bringing out the Edwards' endorsment today, than 24 hours after Clinton's huge victory in West Virginia, and just in time to be shown live on network news, was a brilliant political move.

The only thing better would be holding Obama's first political event in Florida on the day after the Kentucky and Oregon primaries, and bringing out Al Gore to endorse him.

You don't suppose....?
