Barack Obama : The race for the White House
In May 2008, Obama clinched another key endorsement: former presidential-hopeful John Edwards. "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 to a crowd in Grand Rapids, Mich. "There is one man who knows in his heart there is time to create one America, not two ... and that man is Barack Obama." Adam Bird / Associated Press
