Rick Klein reports for ABC News that Edwards is seriously weighing an endorsement of Hillary Clinton. While I acknowledge that the race is not yet won for Obama, I have to imagine that in some way they are routing for Edwards to grab an oar and start rowing aboard that sinking ship.
Klein rightly reminds his readers of Edwards great rants against the system and Clinton's role and defense of it. "An Edwards endorsement of Clinton would be uncomfortable in large part because of Edwards' own words. As a candidate, Edwards kept up a running and biting critique of Clinton, and set up his candidacy in large part in opposition to Clinton and the type of politics he claimed that she represented." He is pandering for an Attorney General post or even the role of "white guy" on either of the tickets.
My hope is that he will throw his support to Hillary and save Obama the necessity to find some role for this washed up politician. An endorsement for Hillary means Edwards attaches himself, in the spirit of hypocrisy, to the House of Clinton and can now and forever be swept away as that house falls with a loud crash.

I don't see how Edwards helps either candidate, but certainly not Obama. Obama sees an America with a bright future and people working together.
Edwards sees a Marxist clash as America's workers go to war against American companies (as the rest of the world leaves us in the dust).
If he endorses HRC, I like Jonathan's hypothetical ending to the careers of two very ambitious individuals.
