52. Often in the past people in that position

have used the cards they hold to negotiate for something they really want. I do not pretend to speak for Edwards or his camp. But let's assume he wanted a specific position in the cabinet (for benefit of this discussion). If the delegate count is so close between Hillary and Obama, neither has the minimum needed, Edwards could throw his in the direction of his personal favorite, in exchange for a negotiated "thank you." If his support went along and moved in mass to support that negotiation, yes, Edwards could "make a king" or a "queen" whichever applies!
