Plouffe Shocker: Edwards Camp Offered To Endorse If Obama Would Pick Him As VP
In the thick of the Democratic presidential primary, a top operative
offered up John Edwards' withdrawal from the race and endorsement - on
the condition the person he endorsed would offer him a spot on the
ticket.
David Plouffe details the deal that "a senior Edwards" adviser"
tried to ink before the South Carolina primary, spilling the beans in
his book "The Audacity To Win."
Plouffe, then campaign manager for Barack Obama, was worried after
the New Hampshire loss and polls tightening in South Carolina.
He said that the rival Edwards camp was in trouble and wanted to
make a move with either Obama or Hillary Clinton while Edwards was "at
a point of maximum leverage."
