John Edwards missed the mark.
The former presidential candidate has waited to endorse either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination, leaving his endorsement effectively null and void.
Here's my reasoning:
Had Edwards made a committment to one candidate or the other prior to Super Tuesday - or even last week - he would've had time to get out and rally his supporters for the candidate of his choice. Now, it's too late to campaign, and if Obama wins either Texas or Ohio, the race is effectively over. If Hillary wins both, and then Edwards endorses Hillary, it's likely too little too late baring a miracle.
He may have strong feelings towards the war or poverty - but I believe this is a man who's more interested in hedging his bets than helping the poor - much less a candidate win the nomination.
