Edwards Donors Going to Obama — Will John Folo The $$?

Interesting nugget from Congressional Quarterly today: A lot of former Edwards donors are now dropping their coins in Barack Obama’s kitty.

Here’s what CQ sez: “The analysis by CQ MoneyLine identified 287 former Edwards contributors who donated to Obama for the first time during his record-breaking $56 million month. Collectively, though, the former Edwards donors amounted to a small fraction of Obama’s haul, sending in $200,000. In comparison, Clinton banked $114,000 from 138 Edwards donors who had not given to her in past months as she piled up a personal-best $35 million in February.”

Remember when we told you about the birth of this phenomenom (gratuitous self-congratulatory link alert!) weeks ago? Now, after the first full month after Edwards’ withdrawl, there’s some actual reporting to back it up.

Despite this mini-migration, still no word from the Edwards camp on who the big guy will back. Who do you think Edwards should endorse? And is his endorsement too late to matter?
