Democrats debate in South Carolina
Clinton-Obama barbs dominate debate


Clinton, Edwards hold private post-debate meeting

MYRTLE BEACH, South Carolina (CNN) — What were they talking about?

Hillary Clinton and John Edwards met privately backstage following a very contentious Democratic presidential debate in this coastal city, sources with both campaigns confirm to CNN.

The meeting took place in the Edwards campaign green room.

One of the sources said the meeting happened by chance and the conversation consisted of light chatter. The source added that Clinton did jokingly take a jab at Edwards about his beating up on her during the debate. In fact, the real fireworks were between Clinton and Barack Obama.

An Edwards source noted that it was not surprising the two senators met backstage.

"That happens back there,” said the source, who said it has happened “more often” with Obama. “It’s tight quarters – we’re all on top of each other.”

The question is — with only two weeks before Super Tuesday — what else was discussed?
– CNN’s Candy Crowley and Mike Roselli
