The half of a losing ticket in the last election. That's change I can believe in. If Hillary is out for obvious reasons, the Change brand accepts the past in the form of Edwards?

Strange indeed.

1. Shhh. You are imagining "last election." Edwards is NEW. He is a fresh face.

50. he won't be the vp. he's getting a boot up on his poverty ideas.
I doubt however that the queen would take his endorsement. :sarcasm: Bush, clinton, bush, clinton. Change you can believe in. (tm)

9. Just look at the ones who've been in the business for so long
that everything is screwed to the max. What we need are the new kids on the block.

5. Edwards will not be on the ticket
he couldn't bring NC to Kerry (not close)
he didn't really do all that well in the 08 primary.
he doesn't bring anything extra to the table than other very qualified democrats out there do.

I'm not a hater but he won't be and shouldn't be on the ticket.

7. Edwards is 2004.
And Obama can find a better southern white Democrat, with more foreign policy experience. Webb, Clark, Nunn, take your pick.

Edwards could have a cabinet position though.

11. Not Nunn
Nunn jumped ship after 94 because the Dems did so badly in 94.

He's anti-gay rights. He's conservative.

24. All I see is a bunch of whiny bitching and threats to vote for McCain.
And here, I see a bunch of whiny, petulant bitching because Edwards endorsed Obama.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: With everything that's at stake this year for our Nation and our Planet, anyone who will not vote for the Democratic Nominee for President is
A TOTAL FUCKING ASSHOLE.


Think about what you're doing come November, and know thyself.

13. If we'd had more Edwards in 04, we'd have been better off.
John Kerry should have only appeared after a thirty minute speech by Edwards. Then they could introduce Kerry, let him talk 3-4 minutes, and DONE.

John Kerry is the worst public speaker we have nominated since Walter Mondale, another goober who couldn't keep your attention if he was giving away gold bars.

17. Totally idiotic and people who have seen him speak will tell you so.
But, of course, it is too easy to attack a good Dem just to push the guy you like.

make me a Hill fan. I have been supporting Obama way before you, in fact, way before Kerry endorsed Obama, in fact more than one year ago.
So, whatever, as you say.

29. Hillary's out for voting for the IWR
but Edwards is golden, for sponsoring it.

At least Edwards would alleviate the concern about Obama not having enough experience. Edwards finished a whole term.

He needs to concentrate on what's in his heart.
