RALEIGH, N.C. - A top adviser to former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards is endorsing Barack Obama.
Ed Turlington was the National Chairman of Edwards' 2004 presidential campaign and a close adviser to his 2008 campaign. The Raleigh-based attorney said Wednesday that Obama and Edwards share a commitment to taking on special interests.
Turlington was among 49 former Edwards supporters who endorsed Obama on Wednesday. Others include state Sen. Eleanor Kinnaird, state Rep. Pricey Harrison and former Charlotte mayor and Edwards adviser Harvey Gantt.
Edwards dropped his presidential bid in January after winning 26 delegates in the first four contests. The former North Carolina senator has yet to endorse Obama or rival Hillary Rodham Clinton.
