Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) paid a secret visit to his former rival, John Edwards, in quest of his endorsement on Sunday.

The meeting in Chapel Hill, N.C., where Edwards lives, is the latest effort by Obama and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) to win "the Edwards primary" — the heatedly sought endorsement of the third-place finisher in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Clinton also pulled off a secret meeting to the Edwards mansion earlier this month. Speeches by both candidates have been including frequent references to Edwards' message about ending poverty.

7. dont get excited

Edwards already met with Hillary. The Obama meeting was canceled due to media. Edwards is just completing the due diligence a man of his integrity is driven to.

20. Saw Edwards yesterday in CH

I was tempted to ask him Barack or Hillary, but chickened out...glad to see he's leaning towards BO.

BTW, Edwards is all class in person. Big ups to him.
