Reply #26: I sort of doubt it - why not before or just after the March 4 voting?

Edwards understands delegate math as well as anyone. Why would he hold back his endorsement until Clinton was in an increasing tight corner in terms of delegates? She had more leverage before March 4th, and his endorsement around the time of those primaries would have probably given her a useful boost. Endorsing her in North Carolina is going to look like one of the also rans helping her limp across the finish line.

This isn't a comment on the merits of Edwards or Clinton, just the suggested timing of his endorsement.
