Thu, 15 May 2008 23:17:48 -0400

At 5:04pm Political Rader on abcnews.com confirmed the endorsement.

At 5:13pm MSNBC displayed a breaking news banner "AP: Edwards Endorses Obama".

At 5:16pm the full details were discussed and aired on MSNBC and CNN.

By 5:17pm the details were up on CNN.com -- the time it was tweeted.

"Meanwhile, Edwards' homepage is stuck on January 30, 2008."

The reason the homepage is stuck on Jan 30th is that there are very specific rules by the FEC of what you may and may not do with your website post election. Debt retirement is about it, I'm sure endorsements wouldn't fly.

Edwards endorses Obama, and we first found out about it on Twitter, of course; where was Elizabeth Edwards last night?; Edwards takes advantage of the renewed media glare to promote his own project; Edwards for AG? Maybe. VP? Don't bet on it; Sarah Stirland on the guy who produced the viral Obama smear video; Dean announces the DNC's "State Blogger Corps"; Marc Ambinder on Obama's understanding of the web; and Obama wields an iPhone. Is that thing a 3G model?
