Will TNR switch endorsements?

On to Edwards (from today's Etc...)

Alongside last night's fifth-place showing, I think the e-mail pretty much speaks for itself. But beyond the question of whether or not Lieberman is deluding himself, I think there's a real issue at stake here. That is, Lieberman isn't just making himself look foolish by staying in the race. (If that were all that was going on, Lord knows I'd be all for it.) He's actively hurting the chances of the one person who can still beat John Kerry and save the Democratic Party from apocalyptic defeat in November: John Edwards. That's because, as my colleague Frank Foer points out today, Edwards is the most moderate remaining candidate in the field, and therefore the candidate most likely to benefit from Lieberman's withdrawal. The longer Lieberman sits on his (admittedly dwindling) base of support, the harder it becomes for Edwards to consolidate the anti-Kerry vote.
