Webb obviously won't since he's going the Zell Miller "muh dem party left me" route. Chafee seems like an obvious Bernie endorsement, so I'm confused why he hasn't yet, unless Bernie's campaign thought it would do more harm than good (probably a fair assessment.) O'Malley endorsed Hillary in 08 but seemed really bitter against her this time, and also might have hung himself after Iowa.

Any ideas?

O'Malley's AWOL. Chafee will endorse Sanders, as will Lessig (and possibly Webb).

Webb left the party because he thinks it's too far left, but would endorse a socialist?

I think he's more likely to endorse Sanders than Clinton. For one thing, polls have shown that conservadems tend to support Sanders over Clinton. For another thing, Webb and Sanders seem to have quite a bit of mutual respect, and Webb sided with Sanders, claiming that the DNC is 'nothing more than an arm for the Clinton campaign' during the data breach scandal.

And once Bernie Sanders has been dispatched, I fully expect Jim Webb to back Donald Trump in the general election.

I honestly feel like Webb wouldn't endorse in the general election, but he'd certainly be welcome to the TRUMP train.
