Edwards and endorsement

I donated to John Edwards’ campaign, would have voted for him had he made it as far as Missouri, and was sad to see him go…but this business of “who will Edwards endorse” has always seemed wholly immaterial. This political season has been so dynamic, it seems to me that the ability of the fallen to influence erstwhile supporters has spoiled more quickly than fish left on the counter. By the time Edwards makes a choice of whom to endorse, the number of people who will actually care - not counting reporters and pundits - will fit comfortably in your average living room.

Come to think of it, Edwards’ twenty-six pledged delegates would fit snugly in that living room. Not certain how bound they are/would be to an Edwards endorsement, but this is the only aspect of the story which really means anything.
