Chris Cillizza has some ideas about what this means practically (email lists; remnants of a national operation), but, like Chris, I don't think it's ultimately going to matter very much. It'll be seen as a slap in the face to Edwards, since he was Kerry's running mate four years ago, but it's no secret that Edwards was pissed when Kerry conceded, so I don't think there's any love lost there.
Personally, I just think it's bad form for sitting senators (or reps) to give endorsements during the primary. It makes it harder for the party to present a legitimate united front behind the eventual nominee. But expecting the Dems to collectively be anything beside a fractured bunch of incorrigible doofs is probably expecting too much.
