Former U.S. Senator Durkin leaves Dean for Edwards...
U.S. Senator John Edwards Sunday received the endorsement of former U.S. Senator John Durkin. Durkin chose to endorse Edwards after withdrawing his support for Howard Dean last week.
Senator Durkin is the second high-profile New Hampshire Democrat to switch his support to Edwards in the face of Edwards' groundswell of momentum. Just last week, Peter Burling, the New Hampshire House Democratic leader, switched his endorsement to Edwards after supporting Gephardt. These endorsements underscore the momentum that New Hampshire voters have been feeling over the past few days.
"I like all the candidates, but I'm trying to find the one who has the best chance of beating George Bush," said Durkin. "I think Sen. Edwards would be the best."
Durkin represented New Hampshire between 1975 and 1980. Durkin began his public service career with the United States Navy as a young man, then climbed his way up the ladder working for the state of New Hampshire.

I am not sure what impact this might have at this late point which I would guess is not much. Maybe if it features boldly in the New Hampshire papers or local media it could influence some late-breakers.
Gratuitous poll!
