A Poll--When does Edwards Endorse...and who...

Thu Feb 07, 2008 at 09:27:27 AM PDT

When would it be the best time for Edwards to endorse? And whom should he endorse??

more after the jump...

Personally I think Edwards was right not to endorse before super Tuesday for a variety of reasons...it was too soon after dropping out, it gives his people some time to "grieve", it allows him time to see if either Clinton or Obama gets a huge win on Super Tuesday...etc

But I also think he should endorse today or tomorrow...He should endorse before the voting in MD, DC and VA...

He should endorse while he still has some traction, some influence...The longer he waits, the less pull he has.

Plus this is the time to endorse IF he plans to endorse Hilary. She will need the help in these three states...Obama likely wins MD and DC no matter what, but an Edwards endorsement could swing VA to Hilary. Edwards will look like her savior...or at least helpful, if savior is too strong a word.

And if he comes out for Obama, then I think Barack wins MD, DC and VA and Edwards would look very good endorsing right before Obama takes three states in a row.

So what do you think? Endorse now? Wait some more? and if so, why?

Thanks

ps...we do a poll on Gore tomorrow...
