The answer to my dreams could be at hand.

Barack Obama sneaked down to North Carolina Sunday and met with former rival John Edwards, who has yet to make an endorsement in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Officials at North Carolina television station WTVD said they have video taken from a helicopter of Obama leaving Edwards' home in Chapel Hill. A producer said the station was "tipped off" about the meeting, but said the source was confidential.

The Obama campaign confirmed the meeting. Although reporters normally travel everywhere with Obama, he left them behind to fly down in secret from his hometown.

"Senator Obama visited this morning with John and Elizabeth Edwards at their home in Chapel Hill to discuss the state of the campaign and the pressing issues facing American families," said Obama spokesman Bill Burton. He wouldn't comment on the possibility of an endorsement.

Anybody who has been a frequent visitor to this blog cannot help but know that I was an early Edwards supporter. I thought that he had the best platform and the right strength of character to lead this troubled nation.

When I read the writing on the wall and realized that Edwards was making an ill fated run for the White House in a time when he was up against two historic candidacies, I moved my support to Barack Obama.

But I did not give up on John Edwards.

I just started to constantly post about the idea of an Edwards/Obama ticket or an Obama/Edwards ticket. I am pretty sure I drove many of you crazy with my very enthusiastic support for this idea.

When Edwards dropped out of the race I kept waiting for him to endorse Obama, but nothing happened. Then people started suggesting that he might endorse Hillary and I thought my head would explode. But that did not happen either.

But now they are having a face to face meeting. I don't want to get too excited, but this just might be the very thing that I have been hoping for.

In my opinion this would be the greatest political match up in American history.

And the Republicans will simply curl up and die once it takes place.
