"Edwards knows a lot about giving up ... since he gave up on his Presidential campaign Saturday night."
That's not what he's up to. Edwards is clearly going for a two-candidate race, with him and Obama as the two candidates. This requires that he help Obama knock Clinton out of the race first, then stay close enough to keep going. To win, he's got to take on Obama at some point, but as long as the press pretends that it's Hillary vs Barack, attacking Obama only helps Hillary.
For this tactic to work, he probably needs a miracle of some kind, like a major mis-step by Obama, but he isn't likely to get it.
But if Hillary melts down so badly that Edwards comes in second in New Hampshire, the press is going to have an increasingly difficult time ignoring him.
