Dean May Endorse Edwards If It Will Help Edwards

DEAN AND EDWARDS
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/politics/TheNote/TheNote.html

ABC NEWS NOTE -  The more savvy speculation (we think) on the Dean blog 
says this: if the conditions on the ground change, and if there appears 
to be a groundswell of visible, public support for Edwards in states 
like Minnesota, Georgia and Ohio, Dean could very well decide that his 
endorsement would help the North Carolina Senator cross the threshold. 
Dean likes Edwards more than Kerry, thinks Edwards would be a more 
effective nominee, and wants him to win.  But he's more politically 
cautious than normally thought and does not want to hurt Sen. Kerry's 
chances in the fall by a premature endorsement of the anti-Kerry 
alternative.  

There is little in the exit polls to suggest that Dean 
voters would necessarily or automatically support Edwards, though the 
small, hard corps Deaniacs who post to the blogs like Edwards much more 
than they like Kerry, whom they consider a tool of the Washington 
establishment and all other things evil.
