Even when they KNOW who they are backing they will probably hold off till the debates begin.

They usually wait until after the primaries, as they don't want to risk backing the wrong horse.

I have seen exceptions in the past if there is a particular candidate head and shoulders above the others, but it would still need to be someone who is polling very well.

Note: Not in an union,so no first hand knowledge, just going by what I have seen before.
