Suck it, Hillary.

ABC News' Kate Snow, Raelyn Johnson, Sunlen Miller, and Rick Klein Report: Former Sen. John Edwards is endorsing Sen. Barack Obama's presidential candidacy Wednesday evening, in a dramatic attempt by the Obama campaign to answer concerns regarding Obama's appeal to working-class voters, several senior Democratic sources tell ABC News.

The Obama campaign confirms Edwards will endorse Obama at a campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan Wednesday. The event was originally scheduled to start at 7pmET, but was moved up to 6:20pmET, presumably to have the announcement make the evening news.

Edwards, who ran for president on a platform of eradicating poverty, plans to appear alongside Obama for the announcement. The event comes one day after Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton defeated Obama by 41 points in the West Virginia primary, and Edwards' endorsement will give Obama a key establishment stamp of approval as he attempts to close out the nominating process.

Edwards and his wife, Elizabeth, have remained studiously neutral since the Edwards campaign came to a close Jan. 30. Edwards on Sunday called Obama "the likely nominee," but made clear that his statement reflected a judgment about the state of the race, not necessarily a personal preference.

The possibility of an Edwards endorsement has been the subject of intense speculation for months; only former vice president Al Gore's endorsement was more coveted by Obama and Clinton. Edwards and his wife had publicly praised Clinton's healthcare plan, but Edwards' anti-corporate message seemed a better fit for Obama's outsider campaign.

A source close to the Clinton campaign said the Edwards camp gave the Clinton folks a heads up.

"Clearly it's upsetting" the source tells ABC. "He brings the workers" to Obama.

It's a good thing. Timing wise, it's perfect. Every day she is taking brutal body blows and one more is a good thing. The sooner she gets out of the race the better.

Y'know, I never really understood the draw of Edwards. It's not that I have anything against him, it's just that I never understood what he was running on, other than "I'm John Edwards, I'm a nice guy, I like everyone, and everyone likes me!" He always came off as something of a Golden Retriever to me, very affable, but not a lot going on upstairs.

Still... some things are best left unsaid. Hillary Clinton, and her ugly daughter, are just *not* doable at all.

Edwards won't be VP. But it will matter to help control whateve minimal damage there was from wv and dominate the next few news cycles. This also gives Obama credibility and momentum for the general.

Only three more endorsements that matter left to go.

Actually, I'd like to see Edwards as some sort of Poverty Secretary in the Cabinet.

Maybe Poverty Czar . . . although that sounds bad.

Maybe a new position in the cabinet - Secretary of Poverty and Paupers
