A fascinating mating dance is taking place off camera between US Senator John Edwards and Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean, who seldom shades his disdain for his fellow New Englander, and sources say, has made overtures to Edwards since he left the 2004 Democratic Primary.
Dean and Edwards spoke cordially by phone yesterday morning, and we hear, are trying to arrange a face to face meeting in the run up to Super Tuesday March 2.
Such a meeting could take place as early as this weekend in New York City.
Few things would upend this race more than Dean's decision to back Edwards, who without the endorsement remains a decided longshot today.

But he hasn't run a clean campaign...that's all media spin. Unless you think a white candidate standing in a room full of black people telling them that they live in a racist country is a clean campaign.

It's a damned lie, exactly the kind of thing one should expect from a smarmy ambulance chaser. Edwards is a very dangerous candidate. An Edwards presidency would be a disaster.
