For Edwards, a Role as Possible Kingmaker -- Democrat May Grab Enough Delegates To Sway Convention

From The Wall Street Journal:

[T]he question among many Democratic Party officials is this: Why doesn't Mr. Edwards fold his presidential campaign tent, just as Rep. Dennis Kucinich formally plans to do today, and Joseph Biden, Christopher Dodd and Bill Richardson have already done?

Joe Trippi, senior adviser to Mr. Edwards, . . . continues to insist that Mr. Edwards has a chance at securing the nomination, [he] concedes it is a long shot. More probable: arriving at the convention with enough delegates to tip the scales in favor of either Mrs. Clinton or Mr. Obama. "Edwards is the primary force keeping Clinton under 50%," Mr. Trippi said. "Worst case? We go to the convention as the peacemaker, kingmaker, whatever you want to call it."
