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.

If nothing else, Edwards is in a good position to drive the debate in his direction. He also has some leverage with the delegates he has aquired.

1. agreed. If Clinton found him inconsequential she wouldn't have bothered chatting him up. nt

2. This is how those "Edwards Love Child" rumors got started.

I hope they were chaperoned!

[berni_mccoy]

3. She offered him to be her V.P... he declined and offered her the same. :-P

6. The meeting took place in the Edwards campaign green room.

20. Too funny

that some say it was just close quarters behind the scenes that prompted the "light chatter".

Those are some tight digs LOL

[Kittycat]

7. Sounds like she's running scared if she came to him.

Hopefully he didn't make a deal with the she-devil.

8. Wow, nice level of name calling

No wonder the conversation on issues has degraded.

[rodeodance]

9. name-calling. Is that all you can offer up?

[JoFerret]

19. Clinton is NOT the enemy

Edwards knows that.

[Henny Penny]

21. Wow, A woman with the chance of gaining some power

is described by you as "a she devil"!

You sound very misogynistic.

[catgirl]

11. 20 minutes of "light chatter"?

She didn't go to him, btw, they met outside and proceeded to go
to his room. They're obviously striking some kind of deal.

12. Kerry Endorsement

Maybe they were discussing the Kerry endorsement of Barack Obama.

A Clinton/Edwards (or in the alternative Edwards/Clinton ticket) would certainly be interesting.

[Zueda]

13. That would prove without a doubt

that Edwards has been nothing but a pander bear...Would'nt surprise me though....They voted the sameway on just about everything.

[katty]

14. she offered Veep to Edwards...he's not ready to quit...but

let's talk later, Hillary.

[DavidDvorkin]

15. Not likely, but I could live with that

[JBoy]

16. Geez, talk about a non-story

Two people, in the same political party, both spending 20 hours a day doing the same thing, and they're TALKING TO EACH OTHER!

Holy crap!!!!

[IndianaGreen]

17. Perhaps they were sizing each other as future mates

and I don't mean running mates.

18. If I could have been a fly on the wall in that room

That must have been some INTERESTING conversation.
