While last week we reported that Senator Obama has been having talks with former Senator John Edwards, it is now Hillary Clinton who has been speaking with Edwards.  When asked whether or not she has talked to Edwards in recent weeks, Clinton simply stated the two have spoke on several occasions.  In the past two weeks, Clinton and Obama have both been picking up their game with trying to get an endorsement from Edwards.  They both know it could be crucial to winning the nomination.

Clinton has also been criticized for how similar her remarks have been to Edwards.  There have been about a paragraph of remarks that have been tied back to what Edwards said during his candidacy.  Could this be a mechanism to try and get Edwards endorsement?

Besides meeting with both Obama and Clinton recently, Edwards has continued to campaign for universal health care from birth to death as he calls it.  If Edwards does endorse a candidate, it may be that candidates view on health care that decides who gets his endorsement.
