Establishment will coalesce around Biden after SC

[ugabug]

I read all this sudden consolidation as the silent Obama's quiet hand. We talk about the Democratic establishment, the Democratic establishment is pretty much Obama and his devotees at this point, moreso than the Clintons anyway.

If this was Obamas doing, why hasn't he just openly come out to endorse Biden yet? I know he wants to be seen as not interfering in the election, but it is his own damn vicepresident, he could absolutely get a pass for endorsing him (albeit not from the BernieBros, but they'll hate him regardless).

I was listening to a podcast earlier that had David Axelrod on it and he said that the last time he spoke with Obama on this subject (mind you Axelrod made it clear Obama's views could have changed since then) that Obama wanted to hold back and try and act as a unifying figure once the primary was over incase there is any lingering bad blood.
