if Edwards supporters in Maine can still caucus for him or is the only alternative joining "uncommitted"? I'm thinking that since he suspended his campaign but has not actually withdrawn his nomination that it would be possible to stand for him.

1. Yes, you can still caucus for him |
|
I know many people who intend to do just that. He can still get delegates and be a force at the convention.

3. You can, but be aware of the math... |
|
If there are not enough people at the caucus to give him a delegate, then your vote is essentially not counted. In 2004 we had five people at the caucus who were with Clark, but needed six to give him even a single delegate. Fortunately, my grandmother voted for him absentee so we did get the one. Had we not, we would have had to choose between one of the other candidates, uncommitted or not voting at all.
