The Edwards campaign said their guy won't be endorsing anyone today in New Orleans. Which brings up this question: Is there any debate on the matter? Would Edwards endorse Hillary? It's hard to see why he would. The only question is whether he'll endorse anyone.

To perhaps the more important issue -- Where do Edwards' supporters go? -- again, likely to Obama, but there's also the unions to consider. Edwards piled up quite a few union endorsements that will be sought after by Obama and Clinton.

In any event, the race to win Edwards' endorsement, delegates and supporters is already on. This is Obama's statement:

John Edwards has spent a lifetime fighting to give voice to the voiceless and hope to the struggling, even when it wasn't popular to do or covered in the news. At a time when our politics is too focused on who's up and who's down, he made a nation focus again on who matters -- the New Orleans child without a home, the West Virginia miner without a job, the families who live in that other America that is not seen or heard or talked about by our leaders in Washington. John and Elizabeth Edwards have always believed deeply that we can change this -- that two Americans can become one, and that our country can rally around this common purpose. So while his campaign may end today, the cause of their lives endures for all of us who still believe that we can achieve that dream of one America.

UPDATE: Hillary has a photo of John and Elizabeth up on her site with the headline "We Salute John and Elizabeth Edwards".
