It makes no sense for Edwards to endorse Clinton
It would be a grave miscalculation by Edwards to endorse Clinton at this stage. Not even the almighty Edwards' endorsement can save her campaign.

3. He's still holding some delegates.

He's like a small, winner-take-all primary all by himself. In my mind, that gives him a responsibility to endorse, especially with the margins being as small as they are.

7. Yup - his power was if it were close and Ohio was important.
I don't think that matters now.
