Photos emerging on Sunday that revealed a secret meeting between US Presidential hopeful Barack Obama and John Edwards ensured that online bookmakers stopped taking bets on who will be named the first Vice Presidential running mate - at least temporarily. Bookmaker.com had been offering odds on this political event. Mr. Obama, who canceled an afternoon campaign trip to Wisconsin, flew to Chapel Hill, N.C., to meet with John and Elizabeth Edwards Sunday morning. The meeting was quietly rescheduled after a session Monday with the two men was postponed because too much attention was being paid to it and camera crews were staking out Mr. Edwards' home. Obama is working hard to gain the endorsement of Edwards.
Obama, who would be
the first black U.S.
president, made a
detour from the
campaign trail on
Sunday morning,
flying from Chicago
to North Carolina to
meet Edwards at his
home and left behind
the retinue of media
who normally travel
with him. ---- Gambling911.com News Wire Originally published February 18, 2008 12:26 am EST Find More News from Gambling911.com Here ----
