1. no, he can't, but he can direct them to Obama or Clinton or if they have yet to be selected
he can choose an Obama or Clinton supporter as a delegate, which would have the effect of giving them delegates.

2. Yes he can, i think he has 27
16 of those Edwards has control of, and he chooses who gets them, the other eleven are divided, not equally, If I remember correctly, it is 7 that goes to the delegate that has the highest number, and 4 to the other. Don't have a link. but was on Yahoo front page, the day Edwards suspended. So Edwards still has some say, and in this tight race, the numbers are high.
