It's decision time Mr. Edwards. You've held out on us long enough. You've seen how the chips are stacked, who has the advantage and you can see how this is going to play out. Set down the glass of lemonade, roll out of the hammock, tell Elizabeth you don't want any more brownies and endorse Barack Obama already.

Obama has put together a ten-game winning streak in the middle of pressure packed pennant race. As his victory speech from Houston indicated, he is focused on the postseason now.

I commend Edwards for not making a desperate attempt to stay relevant by "playing King maker," like so many impulsive pundits predicted. He instead retreated to his North Carolina home for some R & R. The candidates then made their way down Tobacco Road to court him.

The Wisconsin exit polls showed that Edwards' conventional demographic group, the ubiquitous white male vote, have put their support behind a candidate whose name sounds like a terrorist.

Now that everything has played out naturally, it's time for the Obama campaign to ask Mr. Edwards: are you in, or are you out?

If Edwards joins the team he can stay in his hammock until Jan. then he'll have to go back to work, hopefully as Education Secretary.
