ABC News has learned that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., met with former Sen. John Edwards secretly at his home in Chapel Hill, North Carolina on Thursday. Clinton's rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Illionis Sen. Barack Obama will meet with Edwards on Monday, sources say.
Clinton initially told reporters that she was not asking for Edwards' endorsement immediately after he got out of the race. Yesterday, speaking in Lewiston. Maine Clinton said "I'll ask John Edwards to help with anything I do in the White House."
This would be an important endorsement for Clinton to secure, and is essential enough to her that she made a stealth trip to North Carolina, despite her busy campaign schedule. Clinton was two hours late to her first event last Thursday in Virginia, presumably things in the Tar Hill state tied her up.
Sen. Obama would very much like Edwards' endorsement too. Pundits have speculated that Edwards' populist message is more closely aligned with Obama.
Before exiting the Democratic presidential contest, Edwards secured pledges from his rivals to make fighting poverty a priority.
The meetings were initiated by Clinton and Obama, according to sources.
Must have been VERY important to take the Hildabeast away from the public eye, and done with an unmarked aircraft, etc.
Obama goes to his meeting with the Breck Girl on Monday coming off big wins, more expected Tuesday, and the finally accepted reality that The Queen does bleed like a mortal.
In addition, there is a growing feeling in Dem ranks that no one likes Hillary. There are a few supporters, old women, teemage girls, the Gays, etc, who absolutely love and adore her, but no one just likes her very much.
When more than 50% of the people in your own party don't like you, GFL in the General!
... and the experienced Dem politicos know that.
She probably slammed the Breck girl up against the wall.
This little worm will pull some crap. Bets he makes some kind of deal with the “Beast”?
Hmm...”My little pony, you know I love you, we can be bestest of friends now..”
Or
“1,200 for that trim and style? Worth every penny...”
John Edwards is Hillary’s “poo baby”.
“Clinton Secretly Visits Edwards; Obama Next”
It’s NOT a secret if we know!
>>>we know!
Know what?
I know nothing!
You can’t prove I do!
:~)
Kinda’ makes you wonder where that 5 million really came from...all’s I’m sayin’ is it makes you wonder...
Read some of the posts at ABCNEWS.com about Hillary and you get a feel for what general public thinks about both Clinton’s.
Could have been one of those silver or lead offers going down.
Nuke her NOW! She can’t be allowed to spread!
Poor bastard. He's probably feeling like Jack Woltz in the "Godfather" right about now.
Hasn't that financial confiscatory program been in effect for over 60 years now ??????
argh edwards is an opportunist...he sees the race is close and he’ll give his delegates to the one who gives him the best deal
Nope. She's kissing ass big time. Probably even shed a rare tear.
LOL!
...but just don’t expect me to pay for it. I like the tens of millions that I have. But you’d better go out and promise to tax those middle-classers out the wazzoo to make me feel gen’rous.”
I wonder which one of them needed knee pads....
