John Edwards throws in the towel. Good. This will truly make it a binary choice for Ds now and let Hillarah and Big O go at it without the obligatory recognition of Edwards. According to the linked article, he won't immediately endorse either candidate. Not sure why, strategically. He should know better than anyone where both candidates stand on things and has been up close and personal with them more than any of us.
Conceivably, he could be looking for a job with one of them and wants to hold off until after Super Tuesday to see if a clear winner starts to emerge. Robert Novak has already reported on rumors of Obama making him Atty General, but that's just chatter right now. It seems like he should urge his delegates to to go one way or the other prior to Super Tuesday though. I can't help but think that he likes one more than the other and, if concerned about his party, should say who he thinks will be best for his party and his country sooner than later. Hell, he owes it to his own supporters.
An Edwards endorsement won't make or break either of the two left, but if I were a supporter of his, I would at least like to know his opinion.
