From NYTimes, It looks like John Edwards is ready to endorse someone.

Appearing on MSNBC this morning, John Edwards said he was “very likely” to endorse the candidate he voted for in the North Carolina primary on Tuesday. But, the anchors asked, which candidate was it?

In his demurral, Mr. Edwards may have slipped: “I just voted — I just voted for him on Tuesday,” he said. But given Mr. Edwards’s Southern accent, that pesky pronoun may have been plural, albeit in a shortened form: “I just voted for ’em on Tuesday.”

David Schuster, an MSNBC host, attempted to ferret out the truth. “So it was a him or a her that you voted for?” he asked, interrupting the former senator. Mr. Edwards then backpedaled, saying, “No, no,” and laughing.

Did he say “him” or “‘em”? Experience with my own father’s fickle Southern accent leads me to believe Edwards did say “him.”

You decide. Here’s the video. The statement in question is about 10 minutes in. (I couldn’t find a shorter clip. And, well, smarmy as he is, John Edwards is still like a warm blanket to me.)
