Apparently Edwards is not making an IMMEDIATE endorsement
According to his people - immediate means probably not today but maybe by the weekend?

2. Nothing.
No one has anything to give him yet. And neither of the yo-yos left will ever see the inside of the WH as President. So whatever Edwards believes he's getting is an illusion.

5. Edwards is a lawyer & should be bucking for the AG position
IMO Obama is putting together a very respectable assembly of men & women & hopefully the two can work together.

your post is unsubstantiated with a link or any evidence that he has. i see several other threads all saying he dropped out without links also?

8. I keep wondering what he and Clinton
talked about after the debate recently. Also, much of Edwards' union support will flow to Clinton, in my opinion.

14. Edwards did this for a reason
and it doesn't take conspiracy theories to explain it.

He's had a laser like focus on fighting corporate greed and the issue of poverty. The media and much of the public is caught up in shallowest aspects of this campaign season and when left with the choice of how best to get his message out there he decided seeking the nomination was getting in the way of having his voice heard.

Edwards will still be fighting the good fight, now he just doesn't have to play the political games.

18. But what reason? His best way to do this was to have forced a brokered convention...
Now without that play, it gives us NOTHING to fight back against corporate America. Something in the background let him know that he had to shut down as he was becoming too big a threat to them!

15. Is Elizabeth doing well?
I'm worried that perhaps Elizabeth is not okay. Has anyone seen her recently on TV?
John was my first choice, now Obama is it.
