Mr. Edwards,
If you change your mind, we'll take you. I've always respected you and your decissions.

Obama/Webb 08 best ticket webb is war hero and has tons of foreign policy experience.

We are shocked, shocked, to find the media (again) derelict in its duties. Barack Obama has run his campaign with numerous advisors who the campaign would have everyone believe are just not that plugged in to the campaign. Additionally, Obama refuses to divulge who these people are. Inevitably, however, word gets out that Obama has, yet again, surrounded himself with an undesirable.

This time the undesirable is Robert Malley. Coming on the heels of the Obama campaign saying it was “flattered” by terrorist group Hamas’s endorsement, the foreign press — in this case the London Times — pointed out Mr. Malley has close ties to Hamas.

Its ok he needs to be U.S. A.G.

Give John a break!

Obama should pick a woman as his vp - one with light baggage.

LOL, He wants the Attorney Generals position

Go Hillary…if not Hillary….then McCain.

Just look the two emperors with no clothes

Attorney General would be good.We could finally prosecute the war criminals and get to see all the crap that has taken place behind the scenes.

Edwards would make a great attorney general!

Edwards also said he wasn't going to endorse someone until after the nominee had been decided. He's about as wishy-washy as Obama is. They would make perfect running makes; running away from the issues and drumming up media support. They make me ill.

That's a dissapointment, but better to get it out now.

I'm one Obama supporter who says it is time to bring Hillary on board.

Enough already. It is time to unite the party. She has put up a good fight.

I think that is good for Edwards. I think he would have a role in an Obama administration, but I also think that he doesn't want to do the VP thing again, after a slow start this year and losing his own state in 2004. It just wouldn't be worth it to him, and he could certainly be of great use elsewhere in the administration.

Would have been nice but I'm afraid that he has made it too clear that he is not interested.Oh well anyone but Clinton.

You have got to be kidding! did have some respect for Edwards, but I knew this was a self-serving endorsement. His health care plan was very similar to Clinton's, even Elizabeth Edwards knows that. What a let down that John threw his support to Obama. Well, what can I say—-You don't get something for nothing. I guess Obama gets the endorsement from Edwards while Edwards gets the US Attorney position. What a demcracy the Democrats are displaying. I am a Dem gone MAD and will vote for McCain.

Edwards is seen as very weak person / wishy-washy. Probably would be a bad choice anyway.

good!!!

Yep, sounds like Attorney General to me.

We need John Edwards on the ground campaigning in rural America for Obama. This is where he can do the best job for the Obama campaign.

A new visionary leader that complements Obama is needed as Obama's VP pick.

Let's stay focus on Bush leaving office and keeping McShame out to stop Bush's terror and ignorance.

Good! We need Hillary more than we need either Obama or Edwards!

The rich ambulance chaser probably wants the Attorney General job!!

Thanks for your support, Mr. Edwards!

Why would anyone except a socialist even want to pay any attention to Blitzer, the committee chairman of the Politikbeauro USA.

For all the Hillary supporters…if Obama choses Kansas Governor Kathleen Serbruis as his VP would that satisfy the need for a woman on the ticket?

I was supporting Hillary Clinton but now i have changed my mind.
I wanted to be with H. Clinton until the very end.

ITS NOW TIME TO UNITE THE PARTY !!!!

NO MCCAIN.

Good for you Larry! I think most Hillary Supporters would welcome her as VP. Maybe it would stop her supporters from going to McCain. My husband and I would be two of them.
Together they could do a lot.

I think that was a dirty trick by Edwards and has lessed my opinion of him, to take the spotlight away from Senator Clinton when the momentum was going her way. they are afraid of a smart woman.

Wow, that ticket would be slicker than an emulsified teflon/lithium lubricant.

I have hated Clinton's tactics all along in this race, but I hope Obama picks her for VP. (can't believe I am saying this) It would pretty much cinch a november win, which is really the end game here. I know Obama supporters say it goes against his message…but he also has a message of being able to bridge gaps between dems and rep. If he can't bridge this gap with someone in his own party, can we take that to the bank?

Apparently Edwards doesn't want to be a three time loser!!!!!!!!

Poor Clintonites, still grumbling….

LOL….don't you obamidiots get it?
Edwards is now trying Hillarys playbook.
Let obama have the nomination and, after 4 years of McCain, run for the presidency. Neither Edwards or Clinton is STUPID enough to go down in flames with obama in November.

Backing the one that doesn't pretend to have a magic wand to make your fairy tale come true…McCain 08……then HRC2012

John Edwards deserves a high ranking position in white house. As he said, first Hillary has to concede to make a smooth way to elect Barack for the nomination without dragging and dragging to buy time to cook any dirty tricks. I expect her to behave on high moral grounds to save the party.

Obama 2008.

Whats the matter John don't you want to be a 3 time loser.

Again, thank you John Edwards!

The timing was perfect regardless of what people say!

I hope you will be in Obama's President Camp!

It was wonderful to see you both on stage this week with such a great crowd!

Why would they be "unbeatable" CNN? Edwards couldn't even help Kerry carry his own state of NC in 2004! Sort of like Gore not carrying TN in 2000 (which would have made him president instead of Bush by the way).

I like Edwards, but an Obama-Edwards ticket is a horrible idea. Obama is lacking in executive and foreign policy experience. He needs a running mate who can balance that out somehow. Edwards, like Obama has neither. Not to mention they are both so young. Republicans would tear them apart.

Of course Edwards isn't going to be Obama's running mate. He's going to end up as his Secretary of Labor.

If you want to unite the party then put Hillary on board and count FL & MI, nuff said.

Why people think you are up to something when you do the right thing. Leave the man alone. GO OBAMA

Obama/Clinton '08!

Edwards for Attorney General, Biden for Secretary of State!

I think Barack should choose Hillary- The prez and vice don't have to like each other…Reagan and Bush Sr didn't like each other at first. Neither did Kennedy and Johnson.

Democrats Unite!

Now we know at least we know who will fill two of Obama's cabin postions (Bill Richardson and John Edwards). I do not think selecting a female VP will help Obama. It would defintely be seen as a ploy to get the female vote and I do not think this will appease Hillary's supporters. Looks like it will be politics as usual.

GOOD, HE SAT ON THE FENCE ANYWAY. WE NEED A TOUGH ALABAMAIAN, OR A NICE SOFT WHITE WOMEN FROM KANSAS

John Edwards would be a good Secretary of Labor. Hillary would make the best attorney general. Senator Obama has said that his attorney general will investigate the Bush Administration for their war crimes. Hillary would be the best person to do so. John Edwards has relentlessly fought against poverty and has fought for various unions. He would be the best Secretary of Labor. If Obama is the nominee, he'll need a southern white male with military experience. It's a mingling of the old and new guard. Senator Jim Webb would be a good choice or Senator Joe Biden.

Disappointed in you Mr. Edwards, and even as a registered democrat, no way am voting for Obama. You also have lost a future vote should you decide to run for office again.

Obviously you have failed to recall some of your comments while you were running against this man.

Edwards said he was going to wait off on an endorsement. He also said that he would endorse the candidate most inline with his health care plans. He also said that he IS listening to the voters… Apparently all b.s. and a quick ticket to losing respect. The constituency he is trying to sway is the constituency behing HILLARY. He's trying to use his pull instead of listening to what the people want. He endorsed the day after Clinton smashed BO in WV, so how can he say he's listening to the voters?!? His endorsement is even more pathetic than Richardson's.

I am deeply disappointed. I have the greatest respect for Edwards, Clinton and Obama. All three are highly intelligent individuals, but, of course, Obama will get my family's vote.

All three are so superior to Bush in level of consciousness, ethicality and ability to reason and apply logic. Yes, Edwards would have been a great VP.

Perhaps, we can all join together and urge him to act for the greater good. What a ticket! America would actually have a president and VP that can think!

Edwards would be a good choice for VP but the choice is his and we need to respect that.

Ya bad Idea to have Elizabeth I meant Edwards as VP, now Joe Biden on the other hand hmmmm

Whatever position Mr. Edwards decides to accept in Obamas administration will be more than welcomed. Thank you Mr. Edwards for choosing the best candidate for the American people.

OBAMA: THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!!!!!!

edwards said earlier this year that he would not run as a VP…. so people stop acting like you are shocked…

OBAMA 08

I don't think Obama would benefit much from Edwards as his vp, so this is a good thing. Obama will likely choose his running mate based on:

1. who would help win the rural (uneducated and uninformed) vote for November.

2. who has a good amount of foreign policy experience to help fend off Rebublican attacks on the matter.

Clinton is not going to be on the ticket either, because she would eliminate the "change in Washington" his campaign was built on. She would also drive away many independent voters.

I also don't see Richardson on the ticket either, because, as sad as it is to say, that would be too much "ethnic" for 1 ticket (believe it or not, the U.S. is still very racist).

A women vp is possible, but if so, she would likely be from a southern state and white (required for the rural vote).

Hey Truth!
You never wanted Obama anyway.Go ahead and vote Repub,They need the votes.
Obama 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No not Edwards…but hopefully President Obama will find another spot for him. Maybe in improving FEMA.

Obama/? 08″

Not Hillary either.

An unbeatable ticket? Are you serious? Obama will not win in November regardless of who he chooses as his running mate barring a major collapse by McCain. Obama is sooo far left and will have some more major headaches come up (ala Rev. Wright). I can't wait to see what the media comes up w/ for an excuse when he loses!! They've shoved him down our throats for so long… its nauseating.

THE TRUTH - you are a true anal cavity. Get off the negative crap. All of you babies get off the negative crap.

Smart Man. He is only looking to 2012 to re-run. He know Obama will lose the general election. So does Hillary. You'll see.

You know its really sad that you have people like the truth, who I guess doesn't want to use his real name, to make such insensitve remarks about another person. That's part of the problem here why can't we repectfully disagree about who we want to be President without being disrespectful. If you don't like Obama fine vote for Sen. Clinton, Sen McCain or nobody but show some respect for another person.

GO HILLARY!!

IF NOT HILLARY….THEN MCCAIN!!

Thanks to Edwards for saying that. Most people have been thinking that Edwards' endorsement was for VP. I strongly believe he did it for the unity of the party. Had Hillary won NC and Ind, he would have done the same for her. Edwards is a discreet person of character. He knows who the American people want and what is needed now to make a difference. After a long time of fault-finding political bickering on the Hill, Edwards knows it time to make a change. Go Edwards man of honest characters.

It's really sad, they would have been a really good team. I think, however, that Obama should try to get a more conservative running mate, that way, he could reach out to republican voters, who, I believe, could vote for Obama if he puts more conservative democrats in his team.

"Go Hillary…if not Hillary….then McCain."

Once a Republican, always a Republican.

Obama should establish a new Cabinet-level Department for reducing poverty in America, and designate John Edwards as its Secretary.

I had very high hopes for a National Health Care Plan that would be for all. I think Hillary is correct. It is the only way to go. Think what shape the elderly would be in if they did not have Social Security. Heath Care is a very social issue. I am a RN who has seen too much and I know the truth out here. I support Hillary not Obama. I quess my one important vote will be cast for John McCain. That doesn't make me happy either, but I love my country, my party second. God Bless the USA. We are in real trouble.I don't vote for rock stars.

Personally I don't think this would be an awesome ticket….however, I think Sen. Obama will need someone with some foreign policy/military exp. to offset whatever McBush is coming with, because he CANNOT beat Sen. Obama on the economic issues.

Obama '08

Too bad, the two would be a great team.

Come on, he couldn't even debate Cheney. John Edwards for VP … what a joke.

The timing of the endorsement of Obama from Edwards, was executed precisely, to knock Hillary Clinton's West Virginia Landslide off our television screens.

Obama claims he is a different politician. To me that move was POLITICS AS USUAL. HE (OBAMA) IS A FAKE.

Smart Man. He is only looking to 2012 to re-run. He knows Obama will lose the general election. So does Hillary. You'll see.

Watch Bill Clinton jump on the Obama '08 Next … remember, u read it here 1st!!

Go Obama!!!!! Go!!!

Once Bill endorses Barak, Chelsea will follow, and then ultimately, Hillary SHALL fall in line.

You can doi Hillary, YES you can endorse Barak!!!

Its funny…the Edwards of the world - jump up and down at the high cost of healthcare…yet fail to mention that the 100+ million dollars he has acquired are from suing the same insurance companies (where does he think the money comes from….??)

I'm happy he endorsed Obama - Obama just needs to be careful with his VP choice….the Governor of Kansas is the right choice - she actually has "experience" that didn't come from her husband

For those of you who will vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't win the nomination, I have one word for you. Stupid.

I do hope he changes his mind. This is a winning ticket in ANY order!

Probably for the best. However, if it's Hillary, we would have her and Bill running the White House and Barrack would have to cover for their shenigans constantly. It is beyond me how anyone can claim to love and scream over Bill Clinton, when he is a liar and a cheater. It seems the country just doesn't care anymore who their leaders are. If they look good, sound good, then they must be good. Right??

Sad to hear because it would have made an excellent ticket.

Yes We Can in 2008

My goodness people, dare I say. Obama has earned the right to choose his own running mate.

Attourny General or Secretary of Labor is the way to go for him.

Ordinarily that isn't discussed during the election much but this year I think committing to his involvement will help unify the party. He's a very popular guy nationally.

I still think Mark Warner is the choice for VP.

Edwards wants no part of getting beaten soundly come November. Edwards knows Obama can never beat McCain.

Hillary can.

I'm one Obama supporter who says it is time to bring Hillary on board.
Larry Buchas
__________
Larry,

Are you sure it would work?
Had she not go hysterical over the so called ‘elitist’ remark, or claimed that McCain would be the only other qualified presidential choice and, a number of other mindless attacks .. I would agree.

Larry,

Good for you Larry! I think most Hillary Supporters would welcome her as VP. Maybe it would stop her supporters from going to McCain. My husband and I would be two of them.
Together they could do a lot.

kinda glad he didn't. But already you got Hillary, I mean McCain supporters hopping on the boards to tell us that Obama isn't fit to be president. I guess they voted for Bush twice.

How about Obama or Hillary '08. Cause I'm pretty sure a president can only run twice not three.

He can make a lot more money as a slimey trial lawyer than as Veep.

Either Hillary or McCain??? What is wrong with you people. Last time I checked, Hillary wants our troops out of Iraq and McCain wants them to stay. Some of you Hillary supports makes no sense.

Obama 08

Obama '08

The ONLY one who can Beat McCain in November !

Even though righ now, I don't like Hillary too much I think she would be a good VP candidate or have some position in Obama's cabinet. I also think that Kathleen Sebelius, Richardson and Biden should be in Obama's cabinet. Edwards as AG sounds like a great idea. I If things come together like it looks like they are, I think that as a country we will be heading in the right direction.

Funny how alot of racist whites hide behind the "Thruth" vote for McCain if you want to. Its not the person who holds the office its the policies of the party that affects the country. So, to all you democrats who are afraid of having a black man in the white house, go ahead and vote republican. Its not up to us anymore anyway. The Chinese are already in control. McCain would just speed up the inevitable.

I don't mind, I thank him for his support however I would prefer Richardson as VP. However I would like Edwards in the White House in some capacity. Actually almost anyone but Clinton, I would like to see Obama live out his term.

Please– I am white and don't appreciate interesing racial slurs. Even that is low.

So, the timing of Edward announcement was designed by himself to direct the media coverage away from the New York senator's win! I am sure this empty pot will regret. Time will show.

AN EXAMPLE OF A SELFLESS UNITER!

I am opposed that Edwards would back Obama. I am Democrat and fully back HILLARY CLINTON . She was in the white house for 8 years and our economy was good then and it can be again. I don't feel that Obama has the back bone to run America. And if you like the Gas PRICES then vote for Mr McCain because he is nothing but another MR. Bush. America needs GOD put back in it. I feel sorry for those who leave our savior out for someday you will pay. YOU GOD HILLARY. You are the BEST.

HEY FRED: How in the world do you Clinton supporters justify saying "Hillary or McCain"? The 2 are exact opposites on virtually every issue that confronts us. Do you really love her more than your country? Would you do something so stupid and against your moral values just to spite the DNC? It is just shameful what I see written in these comments.

Before you pull that lever for McCain in November, just think back to the last 8 years. Do you really want to do that to our nation? Remember, be an American first and a party member second. I hope you ALL consider this before you make a mistake that YOU WILL regret!!

It dose not mater who he picks .Obama is way to far left to win. When will you get it.

Adam C pointed out Obama should take a vp who is a war hero and has foreign policy experience. So you do recognize that Obama is completely lacking in those areas.

That sounds nice Obama/Edwards. Mr. Edwards would and could be a strong VP.

It would be great to see Edwards as AG.

Maybe he would prosecute the Bushies for their various war crimes.

I'm disappointed Edwards doesn't want the VP job. He'd be a natural.

I just hope it doesn't turn out to be that the VP is Clinton. She's truely hated by so many, that her on the ticket as VP will blow Obama's chances away.

Edwards is not VP material, because he doesn't have the personality of being able to do the attack politics.

I'm not a Clinton fan for VP, but we need to find someone who appeals to the same sort of voters, maybe the governor from KS.

Darn, I was hoping he would bring Obama boy bad luck like he did Kerry. Barbara - you sound more like a 20 year old spoiled Obamabutt. I'm surprised - really, you are just a red neck old hag.

So John Edwards will be the next Attorney General IF Obama wins the election. We still could have a convention where the Supers decide Hillary is more likely to win in November. Obama will never win the General Election. He is already whining about the Republicans taking jabs at him. His wife was criticized in Nashville. It's coming, the Democratic Party is so self destructive. Hillary should be the choice and in November if she is not, let's all welcome McCain and four more disruptive years. WAKE UP SUPERDELEGATES!

Sure would like to see Edwards run with Obama but if not….then anyone Obama feels is appropriate is ok with me…..as long as it is NOT Hillary!

OBAMA 08 & 12!

OBAMA NO
PRESIDENT OBAMA

LOVELY AIN'T IT SWEETIE

Edwards is not interested? Let's see what he does if he is offered the opportunity…….I'll bet that will he will have a change of heart.

Operation Chaos is in full force. Dems please beware of the Republican operatives who are stirring up trouble between Dem bloggers. At the point, true Dems should not engage in hateful talk with other Dems. When you read racist views towards Obama from supposedly Hillary supporters who are switching party to vote Mc Shame, please don't attack or feel resentment towards other Dems. That is a trick to divide the Democratic Party.

To all of you Obama haters, get use to saying President Barack Obama. This is a free country, you are free to move!

All these "Hillary or McCain" remarks are kinda funny. Do you guy's really mean it or is it just an attempt to scare super delegates?

Seriously, choosing McCain over Obama if your beloved Mrs. Clinton isn't nominated sounds like a stubborn first grader. If you don't get the apple, you rather eat an onion than taking the orange, right?

Would the Clinton supporters please stop this nonsense? However hard you try, I will not believe that uneducated equals plain stupid.

Newsbreak, Just In: John Edwards endorses Obama, to get the spotlight from Hillary after winning big in West Virginia.

Newsbreak, Just In: Obama gets his feathers dusted by Bush, who is coming to his rescue now,…A Spin Doctor.. Spin Doctor to the rescue. Help me please.

Stop Complaining so much, Be a strong leader. The world does not revolve around you.

Obama should consider someone with maybe miliatary or foreign policy to run on his ticket. Edwards would rally suit the country well in a Attorney General position. So, for all of you who doesn't see Edwards as a V.P., I can see him in government still.

Bummer, I was hoping for that ticket.

I'd sort of like to see a woman chosen for the VP spot. I'm not suggesting Hillary but there are a number of women out there that might bring something to the ticket. It'll be interesting to see who he chooses.

OBAMA / BIDEN would be phenomenal.

Biden has tons of foreign policy, is hard-nosed and would off-set any supposed advantage people might think mccain has.

Makes sense for Edwards to move forward. Been there done that, didn't work last time and the GOP will attack him as Hillary on his vote for the Iraq war.

Obama should pick someone such as:

Jerry Brown (ran against Bill in '92)
Joe Biden
Robert Casey Jr.
Tom Harkin
Pat Leahy

John Edwards is only slightly more experienced than Nobama.
And who is he supposed to attract besides the liberal wine-sippers that Obama already had all locked up because of (let's hear a big collective wail) "the waaaaaaaaaaaaaar".

i wish CNN would re-run edwards attacks on Obama during the early debates - how obama kept voting present and edwards said that was a cop-out.

While i agree Edwards will have a spot in the administration, and some people suggest Jim Webb, the Dems have to be careful about taking a Senate Democrat out of the position leaving room to lose that spot to a republican. Virginia is still a state with many Republicans, so losing Jim Webb could mean losing a chance at a working majority. Same with taking Hillary i guess. Take a governor. Ed Rendell! Highly respected, governor of PA and former mayor of Phily. I think he is the best choice.

I don't believe for a moment that the people saying they will vote for McCain if Obama (or Clinton) is the Democratic nominee are actually Democrats. They are obviously Republicans claiming to be Democrats.

Democrats are not that stupid, but Republicans are that dishonest.

Edwards and Obama do look good together, and they certainly share the message of needing to change Washington. I was glad Edwards endorsed Obama, and it was fortunate that the endorsement came while the media was dwelling on the biases of poor, white voters.

However, I don't think Edwards is the best choice for Obama's VP. Obama needs a VP with foreign policy experience to give him more credibility against old man McCain.

(Dear moderators–Could you activate a separate board for those of us who are always banished to the limbo of our posts "awaiting moderation." Thanks.)

I can tell from some of the comments here, republicans are panicking cause they have no sense of how to run against Obama. The attack ads they ran work in Obama's favor, since America is wise to that kind of politics.

Obama will pick the appropriate running mate when it's time. John Edwards will be in the Obama administration in a senior role as will a number of other very capable democrats, republicans and independents who can help change Washington. For the first time, a cabinet will be chosen by capabilities not politics.

The tide is turning, America is back.

WRITE HILLARY IN….only way to win the White House

What about Nancy Peloski. She is self made, not riding on her husbands coattails and she is already in a powerful position standing up against Bush.

John Edwards already did the VP thing , of course that ticket didn't win,

John Edwards wouldn't be a good choice; he couldn't even carry his own state in the primaries .

2 postions that would be perfect for him

1) Attorney general

2) Very first appointee by Barack for Supreme Court Justice.. of course Hillary might be eyeing that GIG too.

All the talk about who is more experienced to be Commander in Chief.
Bush was experienced.. \" the decider"..I would prefer someone who would listen to his military advisors rather than a know it all like George W. who screwed everything up because he bullied all in the military who opposed his ideas.

In my comment the last part is suppose to read you GO Hillary not GOD please change if possible. Thanks Don Williams in Ohio

Now I know why Edwards endorsed Obama. A little "scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" action. If Obama wins, and that is if he wins, we'll have another weak and naive president in office. The downward spiral continues…

Bloomberg is the right choice for Obama!

Watch out for a "false flag" soon.Look it up on google.John Edwards is the man to bring the truth to light.

I'm not giving up hope!

OBAMA/EDWARDS '08

He could not deliver a single state in 2004, even his home state! He does not want to take the same blame again. On the top of that, he is almost certain that Obama is not winning in November.

Obama supporters keep trashing Hillary and her supporters. Wway to go to divide the party

People who support Hillary or any candidate for that fact are not STUPID, they are just making a choice, which is their right. I don't call that STUPID.

Of course S. Edwards wanted S. Clinton to shut down her campaign ASAP!!! But that is not fair to any presidential candidate in a 50-50 contest!!! Let the process work its way to the end!!! The Democrats need to unite agaisnt the Republicans in the fall and the Dream Ticket is the way to do it!!!

Fred,
Can't you guys lose gracefully?
The HRC campaign was flawed from the outset and has been outwitted, out-hustled, and out-fund-raised.In fact, the Obama campaign has been brilliant and is winning FAIR AND SQUARE.Deal with it!

Just as well really. Edwards never quite understood that at least sometimes, you've got to be the "hit man" when you are running for VP, not just the "hair guy." Cheney of course understood this completely and has little hair to worry about anyway.
Beyond that, despite Edward's denial, the timing of this thing does have a smell to it.

As an Obama supporter who has been very critical of Sen. Clinton's campaign style over the past year of the Dem primary, she is now starting to realize her chances of winning the nomination are against her. As such, her tone has shifted toward unifying the party and not tearing down Sen. Obama. The more this continues the more open I am to the idea of having Sen. Clinton as VP; although I still need to be convinced a bit more.

Obama/Clinton 08?

John Edwards would be a good VP choice. John Edwards is decent politician, very likable.

Democrats, let's unite!!!!!

Obama/Hillary '08

Obama will make up his mind when he is the nominee. Now, let's focus on standing up to Bush/McSame tactics. Dirty tactics using foreign soil to launch attacks. Bush is a disgrace to this counrty.

its now officially over.

hillary has put up a good fight, but im switching my vote over to obama. it is time to unite the party, not divide it.

with the support of women from hillary, youth and african-americans from obama, and the working white from edwards, the democratic party will capture the presidency.

it is know time for the whole party to follow suit of Edwards and back Obama. to win the white house, it is neccessary.

end post.

I am sure Obama will choose Osama as his running mate…perfect match!!

It's okay that Edwards doesn't want to run for VP - I agree he'd be better as Attorney General or Secretary of Labor. Imagine President Barack Obama, with a talented cabinet that included individuals like John Edwards (AG), Joe Biden (State), Christopher Dodd (Commerce), Chuck Hagel (Defense), Sam Nunn (Defense), and Bill Richardson (State or Chief of Staff) . . . plus as Vice President either Diane Feinstein or Barbara Boxer. That'd be some good mojo.

His aides say he chose that moment to endorse after Obama was trounced in WV. That is exactly what it means to take away the coverage of Clinton's huge victory and place it on Obama who didn't do anything.
BOYS CLUB!

TO HILLARY SUPPORTERS. PLEASE, DO NOT WRITE IN HILLARYS NAME ON TICKET, IT WOULD JUST BE GIVEN TO OBAMA, WE NEED TO VOTE FOR McCAIN OR I GUESS JUST STAY HOME. I HAVE ASKED DNC TO TAKE MY NAME OFF THEIR CALL LIST!!!!!

President Obama's cabinet

VP = Kathleen Sebelius

Atty Gen = John Edwards

Sec Energy = Al Gore

Sec Homeland Security = Colin Powell

Sec of Health = Hillary Clinton (make her put her money where her mouth is)

Sec Def = Jim Webb

Sec Vet Affairs = Tammy Duckworth (wounded Iraq war vet, head of IL state Vet affairs)

OMB - Chuck Hagel

Bi partisanship that works!

"I don't really want to get involved in that speculation," he said. "Right now we have to focus on getting Barack Obama elected to President of the United States, then we’ll worry about those things."

Thank you Sen. Edwards! Do what you gotta do and focus…..

I would love to see Edwards as US Attorney General. This is the position that he has said he would be most interested in. It is also my hope that Hillary is selected as VP. We need them all in the White House Administration. Go Dems!!

I saw the headline and was surprised Obama had already asked someone to be his VP since he hasn't won the nomination yet. Oh wait, he hasn't asked him or anyone-it's all speculation. What a surprise!

These two Democrats are just empty suits (although I really liked John Edwards suit, very nice). No original thoughts or ideas.

Hillary, take it to the convention. You are our only hope!

Conservative Dems for Hillary!

Hillary 08 or McCain if necessary!

I am actually from Outside USA, but I can clearly see that Obama would be the best candidate.

To all people who say they will 'write in' Hillary,
U are not doing Obama , or his supporters a favor by supporting his candidacy…U are just helping urselves !! So get over the idea that U are doing Obama a favor by voting for him.

Obama won fair and Square , and If u wanna be sore losers, then go ahead and do it without all the "if not hillary, McGrandpa'08 " yapping.

Well, if McCain, still wins, it just gives people like me an opportunity to laugh at the US , which is a pity considering the nation's glorious history.

John you were my first choice…..but you flat out disappointed me with your endorsement.It should have been Hillary, or you should have stuck to your word and stay out of it. Being coy does not suit you, and I vehemently defended you when people in my circle said you were just a pretty face……..I guess you fooled me,my bad.

Edwards is a lawyer and politician. Isn't Obama a lawyer and politician too ??

John Edwards, please reconsider your choice about not running for VP, the two of you looked quite natural together on that stage in Michigan. That would possibly prevent Republican from reeking havoc with our country for at least 16 years!. The country needs you!

That's too bad. I think they would make a good combination. Half the country hates Hillary, but the feelings for John Edwards seem to be positive.

would be good combo and edwards is young enough in 8 years if they do their job??????????

AG would be a good place for Edwards, he could go after corrupt financial institutions, oil, and Bush/Cheney for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

May GOD have mercy on your souls.

OBAMA'08

The Obama administration will do just fine in the White House

No way will Edwards consent to being the #2 guy again. Twice he has run for President and once he has resigned himself to candidate for VP. I don't think he'll do it. Not unless he is desperate. He has other family issues he needs to take care of. I'm disappointed that he chose either candidate. He just waited to see who was going to win before he threw his support…just like most of the superdelegates out there.

Big mistake John Edwards, Obama does not have enough experience, Clinton would serve the country better, in addition to the fact that Clinton would beat McCain, Obama will not win in the general election.

Thanks EDWARDS…the right decision

can't wait till elizabeth edwards (the smart one) comes out with her hillary endorsement. mr. I pay $1200.00 for a haircut isn't going to help with the blue collar vote, like the pundits claim. can't wait till obama's name is on the loser list with mondale, dukakis, kerry/edwards, than obama!

MY wish is for Bill C to divorce Hill C and for Bill C to be Barack's VP. Now that would be a ticket! (But only if the wicked witch is out of the picture)

Love ya Barack!!!

To John for McCain

Wishy-washy ya I'll bet your just another brain-dead repubican, one of the 25 percent left in this country….

This shows how much we the people don't listen even to the most important people. This question has already been asked and Edwards has already answered it. The v.p. spot is a joke job. Theres no power or anything as v.p. and Edwards knows that, so he knows not to go for something where he would become nothing more then just a shell. Edwards would most likely become Attorney General. Hilary may become v.p. if her ego doesn't get in the way.

Your Humble Servant,
SILENCE DOGOOD.

To further emphasize that those who are on Hillary the liars side will vote for anyone, now McCain???? Stick a fork in her she is done, how long do they want to keep beating this DEAD HORSE?? Ride it to the end it is still going to be a dead horse. It is time to move this country forward and send the Republicans packing in November.

Whoah. Get Barack elected president of the US. Last I checked the race wasn't over yet and Hillary has a good shot at being the nominee as she will likely have more of the popular vote.

Whatever happened to picking a running mate who would make a good vice president, rather than one who can deliver an election. I mean, we will have to live with them at least four years.

That's too bad, I liked Edwards, but it'll take a democrat like zell miller to help Obama win. He should be able to pick mickey mouse and win by a landslide compared to how bad GW has been. Next on the list… Go OBAMA 2008

yea right, like everybody is going 2 believe to lie. can't believe he turn his back on hillary, but that's ok. hillary write in come nov. i don't know why she just doesn't run independent, the way they have done her, all those traders. hillary all the way come nov……

I would like for Edwards to tell me again how he is for the poor and the working man. Then go get another $400.00 hair cut.

By the way didn't his wife say they thought Hillary had the best insurance and the best plan for jobs and education. And he backs Obama. Something don't add up. Birds of a feather flock together.

This is not news, it won't matter in November who Barack Chooses to run with him. No one can save him from a disaster in the General Election. The moderate republican, John McCain is winning over a whole lot of voters with Pres. Bush's help. Bush may be evil in the eyes of some people but he does speak truth when it comes to defending Israel and our Alli's.

Isn't it a bit premature on CNN's part to be speculating on this subject with the democratic nomination unsecured? Just asking.

That's too bad, Edwards would have made a great VP. I do think he would make a great Attorney General, especially after the previous ones we've had.

Looks like the Obama administration is shaping up to be an all-star team!

Oh yeah, don't pay any attention to the people trying to rally a "Write In Hillary" campaign - they are just Limbaugh's Operation Chaos nuts.

All you people who are miffed that Hillary missed the nomination and say you won't vote, or will vote for McCain: You're gonna NADER us all over again. Look at the big picture people! How can you not support the democratic nominee? Do you want to be in Iraq for 100 years?

WE NEED A CHANGE

Edwards figures that he may have another shoot in four years. Tired of being called a racist because I am a Hillary fan. Obama will not win.

Put John Edwards on the Supreme Court, please. That's the best possible place for him to be in the Obama Administration.

Obama for President.
Strong Democrat for VP (fill in the blank, Hillary, Biden, Dodd, McCaskill, etc)
Edwards for Attorney General

Add them together and you have tremendous similarities to John F. Kennedy's presidency.
President who received the under 50 vote.
Strong and Aggressive VP
Robert Kennedy as AG is extremely similar to Edwards.

Who cares?! We don't need one more Obama. One is enough. Edwards' support is only a feel-good decision. It’s not necessarily for the good of the Democratic Party, or better yet, for the good of our country. Kennedy, Kerry, Richardson, Pelosi, etc., etc., etc., are no different. Except that one of them MAY be trying to endear him or her self in order to be considered for the VP slot.
They should be ashamed. But, of course, they don't know what the word shame means!

Edwards would not make a good running mate. We already saw him with Kerry, and that didn't go anywhere. I think Obama can make his own choice. But don't be too disappointed if he chooses Al Sharpton.

Did I miss the part where Edwards' extreme deficiencies as a campaigner were outlined? You can't just plug in a demographic-magnet and expect the votes to follow. That guy (or woman) has to be a strong, relentless campaigner as well. Edwards isn't. He's a born appointee.

But really, the decent thing for him to do is to devote the next couple of years to his wife, even if she tells him not to. Whatever he does, it should allow him to be with her (and their children) full-time. Not that it matters by comparison, but I'd be much more willing to vote for him after he followed through on that type of commitment.

I am greatly disappointed in Edwards for his backing of Obama, and I would never vote for Obama.

I did not know just how many stupid people there where in the United States until I started reading these blogs. Answers my question as to how Bush could have been elected twice. Now I know. Thank you.

Funny how rush republicans come on here and say stuff like vote hillary or 800 year old Mcsame or say how no one knows obama, but when he does talk or gives us all a chance to know his policy they want him to shut up. you guys never break the mold do you? you are all the same.. you attack someone for wanting dialog with our enemies, yet reagan was funding terrorists and giving WMD's to saddam back in the day.. we wouldn't even know who osama bin laden was if reagan and crew didnt bankroll him. and isnt dubya good friends with the bin laden family? you guys are right, we do deserve change!

Obama/Edward 08
Obama/Hillary 08
Obama/Biden 08
Obama/Algore 08
Obama/Polosi 08
These are all good tickets. Get united to get the house back.
John McCain is a third term for George Bush.

Jenny, I couldn't agree with you more!!!!! Just goes to show, the people who want to vote for Hillary don't really know what they want.

Obama probably has picked his VP..and I am sure it is hell no Clinton.

Hopefully it is Webb.

How about Obama/Richardson 08? What do you guys think of that?

you would make a great team with obama .maybe you could be the dems. new poverty czar?

hahaha. I wanted so badly for Hillary to win, but now I hope the "PM" of the Democratic party wins! I will be laughing when you realize that he was only "talk talk talk", there's not going to be any changes! What makes you think that this inexperienced guy will "change" the whole system??? Come on! I give you credit because you have have hope that something will be different. I feel so sorry for all of you who believe it ( and believe me , I am a very positive person) , I feel sorry for the party and for the ones that say he's a one in a lifetime leader! Oh, Richardson, God Bless you! and God bless America because if he wins, you are going to regret it and since I don't want to be part of this, I will not vote for any of those remaining guys that have nothing to give but just simple "promises" to be in control …power

Come on, PM and his wife, get filled from power that that is what you are looking for and take advantage of it while you can in the next 4 years. As for me… I have become an Independent

Edwards is a smart man. He doesn't want to be on a losing
ticket again.

It annoys me to see all this "Hillary or McCain" nonsense. If you really think McCain is the better option, you have no idea about any of the 3 candidate's positions. Even Hillary has explicitly said she'll support Obama 100% if she doesn't get the nomination. Any Hillary supporter who votes for McCain would be just as misguided as any Obama supporter voting for McCain.

Senator Edwards, please reconsider. Your country needs you right now, and you and Sen. Obama could do great things together in the White House.

Don't be shy baby, it tastes good

One word: LOSER

That's too bad, Edwards would have made a great VP. I do think he would make a great Attorney General, especially after the previous ones we've had.

Looks like the Obama administration is shaping up to be an all-star team!

Oh yeah, don't pay any attention to the people trying to rally a "Write In Hillary" campaign, or a "Switch to McCain" campaign - they are just Limbaugh's Operation Chaos nuts.

Attorney General would be FANTASTIC!! He is tailor made for the position. The only Kennedy I was truly truly impressed with was Bobby as Attorney General, and this guy would be every bit as dedicated and charismatic ( and yes charisma counts when you are presenting your case for enforcement to the public or the court )

And I love you for that!!!! Thank you Mr Edwards

Obama 04/12!!!!!!

Would have only given me yet another reason not to vote for Obama. Even if Clinton is the running mate I would have to hold my nose to vote for him. He is not the person to run this country at this time. She is!!!!!!

I just read an article where Michael Dukakis said Obama is better prepared for the GOP attacks. What planet is he on? The media is about to dump Obama like a hot potato and start on how wonderful McCain is for the next President. I'll bet Obama goes down quicker than Dukakis did. He may win a part of the Dems, but I'll bet if we could step behind the curtain with a lot of those Dems, they will not vote in the General for Obama. It is sad the Dems have a chance to win the White House and restore American pride and patriotism, but instead have let the pundits in the media choose their candidate. Shame on you. Go Hillary!

Sue — who is the worse liar than her who lies to herself?

Go Johnny Go!

Yes, go for Attorney General and then prosecute the Bush administration to the full extent of the law for treason, war crimes, racketeering, fraud and murder to name a few charges….

GW you are going to jail mofo!!!

How can you people say "If not HIllary, then McCain?" Are McCain's policies that similar to Hillary? NO. So then why would you vote for him?

If you are picking a president, you need to be with the one who's policies are similar to the ones you would like to see. Obama and Clinton are almost identical. Sure, there are some details that aren't.

But to say you would rather have McCain, who is a complete opposite from Clinton, than Obama, means you aren't voting based on policy, which makes me question why you would call yourself a Democrat in the first place.

Obama will probably pick one of his fellow Hama deep cover operative as his running mate. Then they will fulfil their Jihad duties to destroy the U.S. from within.

Michelle will finally be proud!

Great chose to pick Edwards, ya look how much he helped Kerry.

Run again in 2012, yep, keep running into that brick wall and expect to get a different result.

Edwards is a weak candidate much to feminine for me.

Imus got canned and now its Limbaughs turn.

Thanks for the endorsement, Edwards.

However, I really feel that, he is not cut-off to be the running mate for Obama, and he knows that!!!

Go Oba….!!!

You can't write Hilliary Clinton in on the ticket?
That is STUPID TO THE MAX!!!

I was hoping Obama would choose him, but if Edwards doesn't want that position that is his choice. Obama and Edwards do have a great chemistry together and appear they would work well together. Edwards was my choice in the beginning and when he dropped out I tettered between Hillary and Obama. I went with Obama. I hope Edwards is appointed to some type of positiion in 2009. Edwards has been rallied around the poor that have no voice. I rspect he and his wife.

Lord, such ugliness and hate here. Is this the true face of America?

I'm a jamaican and it's real funny just how my TV never leaves off the CNN channel. In my opinion, I think it's time for Hillary to gracefully bow out of the race. One, I think she's hurting the party just by staying in and 2, it's time for the party to come together and unite. I know how hard it is to come this far and not to be a winner but what she needs to remember is that she's doing this for the betterment of her people, her country and the democratics will have a real chance at the white house again. She still have hopes that she can do this but she needs to wake up and smell the coffee, the time has run out and there's nothing she or her supporters can do to change what's already done. It's time for the democratic party to come together and put up the strong defense against John Mccain, who apprently has no good intention for the counrty, for heaven sake, the man needs to go home and relax, He's too old to be fighting for power and clearly he's just another George Bush..

Edwards can not help him. I would advise Hillary NOT to be his running mate (he will not ask her anyway) because she does not want to be on a losing ticket and she can come back in 2012 and this time get the nomination because she is the best qualified and we all know she was robbed this primary season.

Obama will need all the help he can get to win the Presidency. And he will not win for several reasons: his inexperience, his pastor, his holier than thou attitude, his wife's view of America, his wanting to meet with foreign countries that hate America, middle America not liking him, his race, his being the most liberal of all Senators, his supporters and the media bias against Hillary, his and his supporters sexist attutudes, his lack of depth on issues, his 'present' votes in the State Senate, and his whinning everytime he gets critized and his crew always screaming racism for everything.

Adam C. wrote Obama/Webb are the best ticket in 08. I believe he should review a little history about Sen. Webb and start at the beginning with his days in the service and when he was Secretary of the Navy under President Reagan. There are many, many folks in Virginia who do not have much respect for this person and what he has done in the past…he was about to be fired by President Reagan, but decided to quit at the last moment to spare his reputation. We all know why he defeated then Sen. Allen and barely defeat him may I say.
