John Edwards tried to cut a secret deal with President Barack Obama and perhaps Hillary Clinton during last year’s primaries, offering his endorsement in exchange for the vice presidential nomination, according to a new book by Obama’s campaign manager.Edwards’ camp made the offer shortly before the S.C. primary, when Obama and Clinton had split early contests and Edwards apparently believed he had “maximum leverage” to help deliver Southern white votes to whoever would give him the No.2 spot on the Democratic ticket, according to David Plouffe.
