Edwards is an interesting choice.
But I personally wouldn't choose him. In light of his wife's terminal illness, I think he should be taking a small step back from politics and not accepting a job that will keep him further away from his wife and family at this time.
Just my opinion, but I think this is partly at play as to why he's gotten so little support this time. It just struck me as a kind of cold thing to do.

I don't think Obama can choose Clinton as a running mate. It would fly in the face of his anti-establishment, "turn the page" mantra.
Clinton on the other hand will be forced to choose Obama. It's going to be interesting.

Hillary has already hinted Edwards that she want him as running mate, of course if she get elected that is
I personally still believe Obama should get Al Gore or Bill Richardson endorsement ASAP in order for him to go all the way in this race and get all the enviomentalist for him.
By the way I was watching Hillary last weekend and she kept touching and playing with her necklace while she speaks to the public, when people have to touch something during their speech, her body language is clearly showing she is nervous, which is very much understandable since she has big chance of loosing.
I'm surprised at Huckabee is still very much in the game and does not plan to quit, I though he was tapped out already...

Apparently there's been positive discussions between Edwards and the Obama camp.
I would be very surprised if Edwards endorsed Clinton now.

I was talking about political parties not POTUS candidates..... DQ didn't want to ask the question how many pols are lawyers because he wouldn't like the answer.

OTB forgets to say the states are small and Clinton, even though down 2 -1 in these expected loses, still gets 33% of those delegates. Yeah, Obama wins the small states as caucuses, but he does not win the primaries, unless loaded with African American voters. Loisiana had the African American vote as 50% of the primary.
The others were all caucuses.
It's not over 'til the fat lady sings and Hillary is not singing. She's shaking up the staff. McCain did the same thing. It's not over.
If it's a split decision come the convention, Clinton will not take the second tier position because she's been there. It would be Clinton (P)/Obama (VP) and I won't have a problem with that. The Republicans would then have to face 16 years of White House rule under the Democrats.

It can't be very easy mixing up a new batch of Koolaid with your head in the sand.

They belong to the most exclusive club going, ex POTUS.... the only one that's soiled that reputation with base partisanship is Carter, which is surprising because as clueless as he was as a POTUS I always thought he was a good guy.

Ah but, no experience makes kissing ass very easy. Clinton was part of the orchestration that got him elected in IL.

Well, Donald Trump's book is called "Think Big and Kick Ass". Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania, all Clinton territory. Yes, the convention will be very interesting.

Not really..if Obama doesn't emerge as the clear winner before the convention the Clinton machine will bury him.

I realize that, trying to be funny, sorry.
The 2 Bush's and Reagan are the ony 2 I can think of that were not lawyers.

The Republicans use of winner-take-all primaries skew the actual voter results at least as much as the Democrats use of super-delegates. Personally, I have no problem with that as each party should have a certain amount of control in who they put forward as their candidate for President. Where I do have a problem with it, is when an archaic system like the electoral college can determine who will win in a general election for President. Clear enough?
