John Edwards helped save Bill Clinton a decade ago. Could he do the same for Hillary Clinton this year?

After his election to the Senate in 1998, Edwards went to Washington with zero experience in public office. He had barely voted, let alone served in office. He had spent most of his adult life in courtrooms. So he walks into the Senate, and the first order of business is … a trial! Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial.

Edwards immediately distinguished himself with a dispassionate and masterful summary of the facts, concluding that Clinton’s actions did not justify removal from office.

Arguably, his very election over Lauch Faircloth – an impeachment champion – helped turn the tide for Clinton.

Today, Hillary Clinton is locked in an increasingly desperate battle with Barack Obama. She badly needs to change the chemistry of the race. And Edwards, the third-place finisher, has not yet endorsed.

Word is that Edwards does not like the Clintons, but he thinks Obama is too weak to be President.

Suppose he were to say that publicly – and endorse Clinton?

The Clinton campaign has three messages now: She is ready to be commander-in-chief; she can fix the economy; and she can win in November.

No one in America could testify more powerfully to those three arguments than Edwards. No one could do more to boost Hillary. No one could do more to stop Obama’s march to the nomination.
