Have to say though that I don't think Edwards speech was all that great - even if I DO think HE was trying to use the opportunity as a chance to use the moment as a sort of "job interview" with Obama for the VP spot.

I was thinking that as well. His speech was good but it seemed like he was going for the VP spot. I wonder if Obama promised it to him.

Usually, the V.P. would be someone that could bring a swing state. Edwards couldn't even win reelection in N. C. and certainly didn't bring N.C. in 2004.

No way for V.P.

Rendell, Richardson, or Warner.

Sebelius, Strickland, maybe Webb or Clark or even Clinton. I wouldn't mind Edwards though, but he'd be best as Attorney General.

I thought it seemed as if edwards was angling for the vp spot. but, maybe just a cabinet post! I just don't like the idea of these super delegates. what do you think they have been promised for casting the vote a certain way? seems shady to me. what happened to the regular american people voting?

Agree. Edwards had his shot. Rendell I can agree with, but not the other two. Webb would also be a good choice or the Gov of Ohio Strickland. NO HILLIARY, NO WAY!! But this is certainly good news for Obama. This really takes wind of Hillbilly's sails from last night.

I would guess all of the names mentioned are on his short list.

I support Hillary Clinton
I wasnt that surprise when I found out that John Edwards was endorsing Barack Obama, although I think Hillary Clinton could have used his endorsement. I dont think Barack Obama will get John Edwards delegates... why? Well the majority of the counties John Edwards won, Hillary Clinton ran second place, while Obama became third. With that said, I would think she would be more likely to pick up the delegates ( but I found out thats not how the system works )

sure does, but not as Obama's running mate. But it still sends a powerful message to Hillbilly and her people.

Sure does, I would vote for the good looking one on the left but not the muggly one on the right.

They are all kissing butt, Edwards needs Obamas support in the Carolina is the only reason. And Clinton attacked his policies a couple times during debates while Obama didnt have the guts to.


Rendell, Webb or Clark, OMG you really are digging into the dirt for those three Disney characters.
