Little did I know how right I was. At the time I was banging these keys, Obama was in North Carolina dragging out the most failed campaign tactic of them all &#8211; John Edwards (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/article.php?id=D8USH5JO0&#038;show_article=1\">Breitbart link<\/a>);<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Barack Obama sneaked down to North Carolina Sunday and met with former rival John Edwards, who has yet to make an endorsement in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Officials at North Carolina television station WTVD said they have video taken from a helicopter of Obama leaving Edwards&#8217; home in Chapel Hill. A producer said the station was &#8220;tipped off&#8221; about the meeting, but said the source was confidential.<\/p>\n<p>The Obama campaign confirmed the meeting. Although reporters normally travel everywhere with Obama, he left them behind to fly down in secret from his hometown.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Senator Obama visited this morning with John and Elizabeth Edwards at their home in Chapel Hill to discuss the state of the campaign and the pressing issues facing American families,&#8221; said Obama spokesman Bill Burton. He wouldn&#8217;t comment on the possibility of an endorsement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess it&#8217;s because they think they have the right message to voters, just that they can&#8217;t find the right messenger that drives them back to their failed candidates. John Edwards, always the bridesmaid, is the new Al Gore, the new John Kerry, the new Walter Mondale &#8211; in fact you can point to more failures than successes in the political party that has elected only two Presidents in the last forty years.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that Hillary was conspiring against Obama with Edwards a scant few weeks ago (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com\/2008\/01\/22\/clinton-edwards-hold-private-post-debate-meeting\/\">CNN Link<\/a>). I guess it&#8217;s lucky that Edwards has the new isolated house that Fox affiliates can find easily enough to get paparazzi shots of the Edwards acolytes &#8211; the new generation of failed political ideologies.<\/p>\n<p>But then, maybe the Clintons have a winning new strategy &#8211; Bill smacking around Obama&#8217;s black supporters.
