BARACK OBAMA, HILLARY CLINTON, JOHN EDWARDS

If Edwards' Affair Were Revealed, We Would Have Won Iowa, Hillary Aide Charges

Over in the Democratic Party, the healing continues:

Sen. Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic presidential nominee if John Edwards had been caught in his lie about an extramarital affair and forced out of the race last year, insists a top Clinton campaign aide, making a charge that could exacerbate previously existing tensions between the camps of Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama.

"I believe we would have won Iowa, and Clinton today would therefore have been the nominee," former Clinton Communications Director Howard Wolfson told ABCNews.com.

Interesting fuel for the "If there were some terrible scandal in Obama's past, Hillary's people would have found it" argument. One of her rivals had this in his background, and her people couldn't find it.
