Don't get me wrong, I'm still a strong supporter of Obama and believe he would be our best nominee. I'm merely making an observation of how things stand at this point.

If Obama keeps going strong (which I believe he will) at some point Edwards will endorse him. If Obama flounders, I believe Edwards will be in a strong position to pick up his supporters. The most likely scenario, in my view is the first.

The only way Hillary can still win is by knocking out both Edwards and Obama, and I think that's going to be very difficult to do now.

Edwards strategy of cozying up to Obama (well, at least to some extent) is a good one at this point. It's a long shot, but it's the smartest move he could have made. His only chance is to Have Hillary drop out first, making it a two person race between him and Obama.

Hillary, of course, wants a two person race as well because she's running against two people now, not one.

Will be interesting to watch.
