Edwards approached Obama campaign about making a deal??

[elizm]

...and Obama campaign said no thanks? Anyone else hear Howard Fineman talking about this last night on MSNBC with KO?

[MadBadger]

1. Yup, heard that as well.

[Avalux]

2. Someone else reported Edwards has been talking to both camps.

How would Fineman know the Obama camp said "no thanks"? There will be a lot of rumors circulating about possible deals; won't know until it actually happens.

[pstans]

3. Edwards takes white voters from Hillary

[papau]

16. true - and therefor the deal may be to stay in the race if Obama directs some money his way

[toadzilla]

4. what kind of deal?

[kurth]

18. Obama offered Edwards a government job

as Secretary of Peripheral Unity Support. He even promised health and vacation benefits.

[OzarkDem]

5. Howard Fineman and Novakula

two of the most credible journalists in the biz..:sarcasm:

In a way its flattering. They must be worried about Edwards growing support among voters as O and C self destruct.

[saltpoint]

6. It's true. They're conspiring to

blow up Fort Knox.

Oddly, Montel was tapped as the get-away driver.

[B Calm]

7. Nope, not true. Just made up bullshit for TV...

[polichick]

8. Why wouldn't Edwards be talking to them??

Much as I love his anti-corporate stance, the writing is on the wall when someone doesn't come close to winning at home. He's no fool ~ of course he's thinking of his next move. If he really wants to serve, he's thinking of ways to do it.

9. Link? video ? transcript ?

[goldcanyonaz]

13. G'luck with that one. Rumor and speculation is all one needs to run with it around here.

[MadBadger]

19. IT was during the MSNBC telecast last night. Multiple people saw it.

I taped the coverage, would you like me to send you the VHS?

[kelligesq]

20. then there should be a transcript of the show - or a google mention of it

[LittleBlue]

10. Hard to believe Obama turned down Edwards.

Really, this would be foolish. I won't believe it unless some fact-checking is involved, and not a comment on Olb.

[orleans]

11. why, edwards is "conspiring" all over the fucking place

remember that little whispering session w/clinton when the mike was still open--about how they need to get rid of some of the dems from the debate who just weren't serious?

[Kucinich4America]

12. Just a rumor being spread by the Whore Media.

meant to benefit the Whore Media's candidate.

[realFedUp]

14. Edwards will make a deal with one of them....

I have a feeling that this will go to the Convention
and deals will be made.

[Bright Eyes]

15. If its true, Obama just threw away his best chance.

If it turns out to be true and Clinton DOES make a deal with Edwards, say hello to President Clinton II :(

[Kermit77]

17. Maybe Edwards wants VP

I hope if Obama wins he picks Kerry or Webb as VP though I like Edwards.
