What happens to Edward's delegates.. the ones he's already got and
any others he may pick up where he's still on the ballot? Can he broker them at the convention if he's no longer a candidate?

-- and if neither Hillary or Barak amass a sufficient number to "win" they could choose to stick with him until ?? (Some concession?)


Or who knows? He could decide to "go "nuclear" and http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4296135&mesg_id=4296135">get back in the race as a champion for impeachment

If he had the moral clarity and the guts to do it, I wouldn't be surprised to see Clinton and Obama lose 5-10% to him by the 5th.

Just imagine it. The pund-idiots would be flabbergasted. It would be non-stop "Edwards; Edwards; Edwards" "What is he doing?" "Is nuts? Reversing himself in a day?" . . . and all the while they'd be citing his REASON -- his realization that, whoever wins the nomination; whoever wins the Presidency; failure to confront the truth and say "No!" to torture will continue to drag us down; his conclusion that impeachment is a moral imperative and that continuing his campaign is the best way to champion the cause. . .

He would have them sputtering, heads spinning.

If only. . .

3. The delegates he now has 10 go to Clinton
6 go to Obama, based on the number of delegates they already have, the rest, Edwards gets to decide what to do with them

4. So if I'm in a Feb 5th state, he's still on the ballot,,, and he could
use any delegate he gets from my state (not a "winner take all") as he likes?
