Kerry will endorse Obama's presidential bid, sources tell CNN
(CNN) – Former 2004 presidential hopeful Sen. John Kerry will endorse Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination, two sources told CNN Thursday.

The announcement will come at 2 p.m. in Charleston, S.C., the sources said.

"(Kerry) remains one of the most popular figures in the Democratic Party and (has) an e-mail list with millions of addresses," an Obama source said.

Kerry ran in 2004 on the Democratic ticket with former Sen. John Edwards, who is running this year for party's presidential nomination.

An Obama source suggested Kerry's endorsement is a big boost because "he (Kerry) remains one of the most popular figures in the Democratic Party and (has) an e-mail list with millions of addresses."
