On today's edition of The LiberalOasis Radio Show on WHMP in Western Mass., Glenn Hurowitz, author of the new book, "Fear and Courage in the Democratic Party," reported that former Sen. John Edwards would receive a big endorsement next week:
I talked to a major statewide leader with a large following ... I can't say his name yet, but he told me that he's going to endorse Edwards next week. And I think that could really [make] a significant difference. So I think we're on the cusp of an Edwards surge.
Big endorsements (Al Gore, Sen. Tom Harkin, SEIU and AFSCME) did not seal the deal for Howard Dean in the 2004 Iowa caucuses, leading many to question their value in the modern era.
But with Edwards often squeezed out of the media spotlight in favor of Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, a major endorsement could change the media dynamic.

I was going to post pictures of who I think it will be, which I'm pretty sure it will be, but I don't think that would be a good idea with Hurowitz saying that the statewide leader didn't want their name out just yet, so I'll leave you all to speculate.
So, who could this be, if it's true? Any guesses?
