That's the implication of this headline from ABC News, but read on, and it turns out Edwards is torn, doesn't want to pick a loser, is skeptical of joining the Obama "bandwagon," and could still choose to stay neutral. In other words, all options are on the table.Though he sometimes aligned himself with Obama — and against Clinton — as a candidate, several Edwards campaign insiders say the former senator began to sour on Obama toward the end of his own campaign, and ultimately left the race questioning whether Obama had the toughness needed to prevail in a presidential race."He is much more torn than people realize," said one former aide who has stayed in contact with Edwards. "Honestly, he has serious reservations about both of them."I think Edwards' lack of an endorsement up to this point has already made it crystal clear that he has no overriding preference between his once rivals. Interestingly, ABC News reports that an Edwards aide said the former candidate wouldn't turn down a V.P. offer. That surprised me, as I assumed he wouldn't want to play second fiddle again. That said, I doubt he'll be chosen, as he has a big personality and voice, and I think any front-runner would worry about reining him in. --Dana Goldstein
