More re: Obama/Edwards meeting: "It will be rescheduled. We're gonna make it happen."

http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2008/02/obama_meeting_with_edwards_res.html

SILVER SPRING, Md.--Barack Obama said a few minutes ago that he will reschedule a meeting with John Edwards that was widely reported to be planned for tonight.

Asked about the meeting during a visit to a local coffee shop, Obama responded, "It will be rescheduled. We're gonna make it happen."

The Illinois senator said nothing more before turning to continue making is way through the crowd.

Edwards' house has been staked out by television crews all day after news of a meeting leaked.. And one aide to Obama cited that as a reason not to meet today.

Hillary Clinton met in secret with Edwards at his home in Chapel Hill, NC, late last week.

1. Hey, I love John Edwards...

... but I think I've stopped caring about this cloak and dagger routine. Whatever comes from this meeting is fast becoming irrelevant.

3. Face-to-face meetings are nice, but why not just use the f*ing phone?

Just wondering.

5. "why not just use the f*ing phone?"

Because its impossible to make a joint announcement if the two arent coming out of the meeting together.

6. Yeah, but - so what? We know they are going to meet; what difference does it make *when*?

That's the part I just don't get.

Anyone?
