Obama secretly visits Edwards

After canceling their initial rendezvous, Barack Obama yesterday left his press entourage behind to fly to Chapel Hill, NC to visit John Edwards and his wife Elizabeth. Both Barack Obama and rival Hillary Clinton have been vying for an Edwards endorsement since the former Senator dropped out of the race late last month - and the 26 delegates which reportedly come with it.

I was almost sure that when Edwards dropped out last month he was going to endorse Obama, I thought that was the major reason he opted to leave the race at such an odd time. I guess he was more conflicted than many people thought. My gut still tells me he will eventually endorse Obama - mostly because if he was going to endorse Hillary he would have done it already. We shall see.
