Hillary: "I Intend To Ask John Edwards To Be A Part Of Anything I Do"

ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., speaking in Lewiston, Maine, said that she would call on former No. Carolina Sen. John Edwards if she becomes president.

"There is a lot John and I have in common. I will be a fighter, and I intend to ask John Edwards to be a part of anything I do in the White House." Clinton was prompted to speak about Edwards after a woman stood up and sad she was a former supporter of his -- but has not switched allegiances to Clinton. The woman commended Edwards for being a fighter -- and thought Clinton was a fighter, as well.

Clinton mentioned earlier in the speech that Edwards was the only other candidate running who offered a universal health care plan. "I was proud Sen. Edwards and I decided to put ourselves on the line politically," she said.

Edwards has not endorsed any candidate, and it would be a helpful endorsement for Clinton or Obama to have in this tight race. Clinton asked voters in Lewiston to stand up for her tomorrow during the caucuses in Maine.
