Courting Edwards

TPM Election Central reports that Hillary Clinton has done a better job of courting John Edwards than Barack Obama has. Maybe one reason is that she needs a big endorsement more than Obama.

Problem for Edwards: If he endorses Clinton, he loses credibility what what political base he's got. Will anyone really believe that after he allied himself with Obama as the candidates for change, he really believes that Clinton can carry that mantle?

What would an Edwards endorsement get Clinton? He dropped out of the race ages ago. OK, it was two weeks. But in the campaign, that's a couple of ages.
