...that some SD's are/were waiting until we have a clear nominee before they endorse. Many of them are up for re-election and are keeping the "coattail" phenomenon in mind.
Someone like Edwards, though, has no such worry. I believe he truly was conflicted--especially seeing as how he's married to someone who most believe is a Hillary backer. I believe he knew a month ago that Obama was his man, but couldn't figure out the best way to "affect the race" with his endorsement. Announcing yesterday helps to offset the massacre in WV (in general) and the argument that "working class whites" will never vote for Obama. There IS a method to the madness..
