Edwards Ready To Jump?
ABC News is reporting that Barack Obama took advantage of the cancellation of a campaign event in Wisconsin (too much snow) to pay a surprise, secret call on John Edwards in North Carolina.
ABC News' David Wright and Sunlen Miller Report: Mother Nature may have called a cease-fire in the snows of Wisconsin, but Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., appears to have put the time to good use.
A helicopter cameraman for ABC's Raleigh-Durham affiliate WTVD spotted Obama leaving former rival John Edwards' house on the North Carolina.
Obama is actively courting John Edwards's endorsement, as Edwards still remains undecided in throwing his support behind Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., or Obama.
Clinton met with Edwards on Feb. 7.
Obama speaks with Edwards over the phone regularly. On Wednesday at a campaign event in Racine, Wis., Obama said, "He is going to be a major voice in the Democratic party for years to come, and I want him involved and partnering with me in moving this country forward."
The report says that the two men hugged at the end of the meeting. (They know this how?) That doesn't sound too good for Hillary Clinton, does it?

I’m sure Edwards is playing the Clinton side of the fence, too. He’s too cynical not to, and both candidates are running to the Left to attract Edwards’ populist fans.I still don’t understand how anyone can look at Edwards and not see Elmer Gantry.

I work in Durham (near Chapel Hill), and went in yesterday so I could take today off. And I forgot to bring my Aquasling for the Edwards/B. Hussein meeting!
