john edwards is a legend. he should definately be in a cabinet whoever wins in november. either as a democrat to keep the base or in a mccain cabinet for cross party healing.

as for obama "we can change this country. we can change the world" what a load of rubbish.
i don't believe a word he says. if he wins the nomination and if he beats mccain he will probably end up being another kennedy or carter. failures.

if i were american i would vote for mccain.
i'm british and we have our own problems.

Obama has already got his top vp choice on a short list. his top choice is Governor of Kansas Kathleen Sebelius. go to the Kansas state website and read her bio and profile. she is amoderate female Governor who cna bring in the female vote and take the void of Hillary Clinton and should Obama get 8 years in office Governor Sebelius could run for President off the being the first female Vice President for 8 years. she is the daughter of a former Ohio Governor and her husband is a federal magistrate and they bring no baggage like the Clintons. and America would vote for the first black male and first female ticket together and he would not need Hillary any where near his presidency.

Edwards will be the next Attorney General no matter whether it is Hillary or Obama!

Always loved you John, and always will. I supported you till you dropped and then only became an Obama supporter.

I knew you will not run for VP because you are an ideological man and therefore would rather be an Attorney General prosecuting all those corrupt corporate executive who siphon off all our life savings in 401k etc.

I hope you will leave a legacy as Attorney General that any president would wish for.

Obama '08, 12. Edwards '16, '20, Billary+McBush (never ever)

My opinion of Hillary has gone steadily down, as every time she proves her own self-interests are more important than the party's. That being said, I think she — and not Edwards — is the only truly viable VP candidate. Only she can genuinely unite the party and bring all the Clinton backers into the Obama camp. Which would serve both her ego and the success of the party.

Jan,
We mean it. We're moderates, not liberals. McCain is moderate. This is why Hillary would have won in Nov. Liberals do not get elected in the GE's. We've learned from the hell of the Carter years.

Chris in Middletown. I produce medical exhibits for court cases like Edwards took on. You should be VERY thankful that some of the things I see daily do not happen to your family. You should also be THANKFUL there are trial lawyers (not ambulance chasers) like Edwards out their fighting for people and their injuries.
Some things are just awful. Don't ever feel sorry for the Insurance Companies, or the Dr.s that get sued from time to time. MOST and I mean MOST cases that get to trial are VERY legitimate and also very sad. Picture the doctor taking out your wife's bladder instead of her uterus, picture your child being sent home 5 times from the ER to end up dying at home from a ruptured bowel, after a simple test could have confirmed the proper diagnosis and wasn't done b/c insurance said no….I could go on forever, but just be thankful for the lawyers like Edwards.

I can't believe Edwards did that. I thought he had a great health program for the American people. My way of thinking by going with Obama he sold out his Ideals.. I really like John but now I have lost a lot of respect for him and he is not on the short list of liked politicians. To me he not only put a knife in Hillary's back but many of the people that are still going to be left out of health care He has shown to me that he is no better than the rest of them. I think he is kissing up trying to land some kind of job with the snakeoil salesman. Be it Atty Gen or the denounced VP. Can't blame someone for wanting to secure their future but in this case he has done this at the expense of many Americans and shows he was not all that serious about health plans for everyone. Sooo Sad John Boy.

Yeah, its cool that Edwards is not on boards. He would have really helped Obama get the dumb……I mean uneducated blue collar workers vote.

Hillary voters, I understand your disapointment and your anger. To be out campaigned, by rookie with all her experience in campaigning, To mismanage finances like she have done, and to have the ability to tell people anything just to get their vote. I would be mad and frustrated to.

Get over it

Obama/Anyone except Hillary 08′

SO much for that. Thanx for clearing that up so all the fake "Pros" can shut up with all of the speculation, spin and worthless charts they show us on every " IF" scenario the is.

McCain over Obama is a wise choice for innumerable reasons – lets start with left wing politics….then go to Reverend Wright and the beliefs that Obama and his family support from Trinity…..then go to his back door politics regarding Canada/NAFTA……then go to his healthcare policy that will exclude over 15 million people…..then how about his willful disenfranchising millions of democratic voters from Florida and Michigan…..then to the fact that he can't carry any of the major states needed to win the General Election……he is unelectable for the General Election.

I doubt that a first grader could think of all those things…and Jan from Willow Grove, PA – it seems that you are the stupid one from my point of view. Why do you support anti-american sentiment? Seems that you are not a patriot for our country if that is the case, so stick with Obama and become an equal looser in November.

politic……but i wouldn't doubt hill being on the ticket,..she earned it

Obama is an absolute disgrace. He has proven himself time and again to be racist, sexist, and a pathological liar. And Edwards is supposed to have any clout in swaying public opinion? Sorry fellow dems, but as it appears the media and their created Obamabots have picked Barry to be the nominee, this life-long dem will be voting McCain in Nov. Of course, you will hear the official request from Hillary to be party loyalists and get behind Obama. She has no choice but to say this. We however, do not have to fall in-step to appear politically correct. Millions and millions of fellow dems will be voting as independents to make certain Obama does not win the presidency. And mark my words, we will see to it that he does not make it to the presidency. This is not about party loyalty, this is about doing the right thing for our country, our future. No one is more qualified on the political stage right now than Senator Clinton. WRITE HER IN OR VOTE FOR MCCAIN!!! Either way, NOBAMA!!!!

I am for anyone who wants solve amercias problems. Barack if you have noticed is putting good people around him and will help his decision making. Independent thinking to get this country on the right track. HRC is viable and brings alot as VP and another cabinet postion. think of your situations and your kids before voting for something you really don't believe. Come on Florida get behind Democratic Party. Gov Christ caused the delegates not to count. Not Obama. Enough with that hating people etc… Americans are smarter and bigger that that. Go.. Dems..

Chris in Middletown. I produce medical exhibits for court cases like Edwards took on. You should be VERY thankful that some of the things I see daily do not happen to your family. You should also be THANKFUL there are trial lawyers (not ambulance chasers) like Edwards out their fighting for people and their injuries.

A deal has obviously already been struck between Obama/Clinton/DNC for Obama and Clinton to run together. What I saw was three events that told me this is happening and then subsequent events. All around the same time Edwards endorsed Obama, Obama and Clinton signed agreements with the DNC to put campaign money in for the general election, Hillary in a CNN interview practically endorsed Obama and defended on every issue. Also she was heavily trying to convince her supporters not to go to McCain.

Hillary is not pushing for any more debates or pushing for money anymore hard. I think she is going to play out the last remaining primaries, concede to Obama and then Obama will announce she is his running mate.

I think the deal struck was that Hillary would get to design her healthcare plan and Obama would implement some of her economic measures. Hillary getting to do her healthcare plan is more important to her than the presidency.

I think with those factors you are going to see Obama/Clinton running together very soon.

Then

I resent John Edwards' endorsement of Barack Obama less than 24 hours after Hillary Clinton's victory. Why couldn't the voters of WV be allowed to feel that their votes mattered? Why couldn't the Clinton campaign savor their victory?

This campaign just might force me out of the Democratic party. If Obama gets the nomination, I might not vote this fall.

That's just what I had been thinking…John Edwards – AG, Bill Richardson – Sec of State, Jim Webb – Sec of Defense, Joe Biden – Senate Majority Leader and that female governor from Kansas??? Yikes, I forget her name! But her for V.P.

I'm a woman and I think women in general are great but I won't settle for just any woman. I'm not happy about Condi and I wouldn't be happy about Hill.

It's pretty clear that Edwards — a very good and 'scrappy' trial lawyer — chose this time to make the endorsement because of the tone HRC took in her still-defiant, still I'm-a-winner-and-he's-not speech following her WV victory. She couldn't win, even then, and prolonging the fiction was hurting the party. So Edwards stepped in — very appropriately and effectively.

VP? Biden would be the best choice, with Edwards for AG. He is an incredible trial tactician – you could even see it in the debates.

Jenny I couldn't agree with you more!!!! It just goes to show the Hillary supporters don't know what they want.

I am glad that issue is set. Mrs. Edwards is a liability to her husband.

TO OBAMA:

THIS IS REAL NEWS:

WSJ: Obama's Strategy for Low-Turnout Caucuses Helps Drive Delegate Edge
For evidence of the strategy that has made Barack Obama the likely Democratic presidential nominee, look at Nebraska, where the candidate narrowly won a little-noticed primary Tuesday. Sen. Obama's 49% to 46% victory barely got any attention from the campaigns or the press, because the state's delegates, who vote on the nomination, were chosen in a February caucus.

DIRTY WORK OBAMA .

SHAME ON YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAUCUS SYSTEM IS A DISASTER FOR DEMOCRACY AND FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND IT HELPS CANDIDATES LIKE OBAMA…

Where is Osama Bin Laden?

Obama’s Church Printed Pro-Hezbollah Articles
Given the current news out of Lebanon it might be timely to point out that Mr. Obama’s church and his “spiritual advisor” the Reverend Doctor Jeremiah Wright were firmly on Hezbollah’s side during Israel’s limited incursion into Lebanon two summers ago.

From the July 30, 2006 edition (pdf file) of Trinity Church’s Trumpet newsletter

I must give credit to Edwards.
He's smart enough not to tie his political future to an "unknown" like Barack Obama. He already has a cushy Senatorial gig and is still young enough to wait for a stronger candidate (or run himself) in 2012 or 2016.

Jan,
We mean it. We're moderates, not liberals. McCain is moderate. This is why Hillary would have won in Nov. Liberals do not get elected in the GE's. We've learned from the hell of the Carter years.

What do you think of the timing behind Edwards' sudden support for Obama? Didn't he say the day before that he would wait before deciding who to back? That he would listen to the voice of the people?

Hmmmmm —— something more is afoot here. Sen. Clinton's clear victory in West Virginia cannot be ignored, and certainly shouldn't be ignored by her contemporaries in the Party. That is the voice of the people in that State and elsewhere. I'm a bit confused over Edwards' move. Guess he can change his mind when the circumstances don't look as good for Obama, can't he?

Republican for Hillary, you are wrong.
Independents will not vote for a Clinton, again.

bush (vp), bush (vp), bush, clinton, clinton, bush, bush = 28 YEARS OF BUSH/CLINTON IN THE WHITE HOUSE!

Mcbush would be another 4 making it 32 YEARS!
Clinton would be another 4 or 8 making it 32 to 36 YEARS!

Obama 08, change!

Go Hillary. If not Hillary then McCain.

The Truth, it's nice to see that racism is still running rampant in this nation. You make me, and every other true American sick with comments like yours; Obama supporter or not. Do you really think that Clinton or McCain share your same views? You need to really examine your thoughts and realize you are a truly disturbed person.

Anybody but McMain '08

They usually say they don't want it until the job is offered to them.

They look like a power team, I hope that he is offered the job.

Well at least he's on the right team. Anyway, this discussion about going for McCain if hillary doesn't get the nomination is really stupid. Even HILLARY said so herself. If your a democrat and you won't vote for one or the other (Hillary or O'bama) then maybe you deserve the high gas prices, high food prices, the chance to lose your home, having your son/daughter/relative in Iraq and the loss of your job. Maybe then and only then will you see the error of your racism and stupidity of having another 4 years like the last 8. Stop being prejudice.

O'bama 08

Obviously, there's something else in it for Edwards. We'll find out soon enough.

Obama folks are so freeeking dumb! THE ACT LIKE THEY HAVE A SAY ON WHO WOULD BE APPROPRIATE AS A VP CANDIDATE FOR OBAMA MUCH LESS ATTORNEY GENERAL!!!!!!

You will see how you do not matter! You will now see how the general elections has now been handed down to McCain!!! Cant stand it???

With Hillary's folks not behind you and the republicans bashing you and your PRODUCT …you will lose…and you deserve it…

even if Hillary begs us to support obama(especially if she is not vp) …even as we respect her…WE WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM!
WE WILL NOT BACK HIM NOR SUPPORT YOU MINION FOLLOWERS..

like I said before I have a Savior…and it is not OBAMA!

Don't understand the timing, right after Hillarys' West Virginia landslide. Takes the emphasis off her big win and puts it back on Obama. John Edwards was actually my first choice but I think this timing was poor judgement on his part. I know he doesn't have to worry about affording health care for his wife, but Obamas heath plan only mandates health care for children. What about universal health care for adults? I have HIV and won't be able to afford the tremendous costs of my healthcare. Guess if Hillary doesn't win I'll just have to do without and go ahead and die.

Surely, Obama will discuss with Edwards the Department in which both would agree, in his Edwards devotion to the American People.

CHILL PEOPLE!! WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT REGARDLESS. DON'T YOU SEE WE HAVE 3 DEMOCRATS RUNNING?? SEN. MACCAIN, SEN. OBAMA AND SEN. CLINTON. BY THE WAY KUDOS TO JOE LIEBERMAN FOR STEPPING IN WHENEVER SEN. MACCAIN DRAWS A BLANK!!. IT'S ONLY 4 MORE YEARS AND TRUST ME – THEY WILL GO BY FAST!!

It's ok. Edwards will still help us campaign.

Will you Hillary or bust (McCain) idiots shut up — you are idiots — the same idiots that are crying because of the war, Iraq, recession, etc. Just go stick you head back in the sand….

You know that net zero commercial that says "Don't believe it." That's what I think of Edwards' statements.

To the Hillary supporters saying they plan to vote for Mccain…Good for you. Since her demographic is poor uneducated white people and older people, just take a guess who Mccain and the republicans usually hurt?

You'll be hurting yourself much more then me, my wallet and house can stand another Republican president. Can yours?

Obama 08

Jim from Chicago – look around and listen to the results of 8 years of attack politics – is that REALLY what you meant to say?

The country is down – we don't need that kind of people in our government any longer.

Please say you mis-spoke.

I want to hear from Elizabeth Edwards. Where was she when he endorsed Obama?

I am tired of Obama supporters calling us names because we don't want to jump on the Obama bandwagon. Most of us have good reasons why we won't be voting for Obama and his wife.

I want experience. I don't think John McCain will be another Bush. In fact, I think Obama will be. He reminds me so much of Bush 7 years ago. The same attitude and inexperience.

we need Brother from south

Senator Obama would need anyone but him self…sure looser… There is a God, you wait and see… He will never be president and I declare it this day as the Lord liveth.

To Hillary supporters:

if ANY of Obambi trolls calls you stupid, take it as a COMPLIMENT. Never expect something smart to come out from his trolls with an IQ where X and Y intersect……ROTFLMAO!!!!

Why not? Is being VP too low an office for him? Coming from the guy who ran with Kerry, I find it strange that he wouldn't consider running with Obama….

Edwards is an honorable man. If he's not interested in the V.P. spot, then he'll be great for Attorney-General.

This is a man who really loves his country and party, and not for what he can get.
Many superdelegates are still clinging to the "Clinton loyalty" factor which redundant. Let go of that and move forward to claim the White House with Obama.

McCain flip flops again. There is a new video out now with McCain saying that we should talk and deal with Hamas.

It's a real shame. This guy used to stand for something, now he just tries to pander to the right to get votes.

He used to be …

1) against the bush tax cuts … now he's for them
2) for a withdrawal from iraq … now against it
3) for talking and dealing with hamas … now against it

Edwards is just a looser with no respect to Hillary. She is very strong than you Edwards, she still on but not you…….

It’s my personal opinion that Hillary shouldn’t be on the ticket ac Vice President, nor should she want to be. She has as much of an ego as any man and won’t be happy. The VP job is not one of great power … it doesn’t suit her skills or ambition.

The benefit Hillary & Bill would bring to Mr.Obama can be brought in alternate ways, including the Clinton family getting on a bus and crisscrossing the rural portions of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Western Virginia AND West Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Georgia and Florida for 4 months “Stumping” for the ticket.

This avoids any negatives she has (even her most ardent supporters, if they are honest with themselves, will have to admit that she would bring additional baggage.

We should root for Mrs. Clinton to be the new Poverty Czar where she can have a real impact.

To guarantee the Democratic alternative is a winner, Mr. Obama needs to pick someone of his even keeled temperament, with more gray hair than he has (he does have some) … that puts a geographic stronghold in the Democratic column. A more recent veteran would be nice to contrast the POW phase of McCain’s life of 35 years ago.

I like General Wesley Clark. A General trumps McCain. He also helps pull Southern men away from McCain.

Edwards for Attorney General and then, the Supreme Court!

Sen. Jenny Oropeza (CA) for Sec. of Education!

Obama/ Feingold for 2008!!!!

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. It was because of the comments Sen. Allen made which distrubed/upset many of us Vriginians. He has done nothing for this State and every time he speaks for the Democrats after the President addresses our nation, it is filled with smug and arrogance. I can only say thank God we have Sen. Warner for our State, but unfortunately he is retiring…

Now a very good VP nominee would be Sen. Biden or the Gov. of Kansas….just my opinion, but I'm sure Sen. O'Bama will make a wise choice.

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.

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..

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

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.

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

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….!!!

Imus got canned and now its Limbaughs turn.

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.

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!

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.

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!!!

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

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!

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!!!!!!

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

Obama 04/12!!!!!!

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 )

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.

One word: LOSER

Don't be shy baby, it tastes good

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Hopefully it is Webb.

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/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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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……

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

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.

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.

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.

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 John for McCain

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

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!!!

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!

Thanks EDWARDS…the right decision

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.

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.

The Obama administration will do just fine in the White House

May GOD have mercy on your souls.

OBAMA'08

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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 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!

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 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…..

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!

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!!!!!

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

Democrats, let's unite!!!!!

Obama/Hillary '08

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

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?

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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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

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.

I'm not giving up hope!

OBAMA/EDWARDS '08

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

Bloomberg is the right choice for Obama!

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…

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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".

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

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.

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.

Bummer, I was hoping for that ticket.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

OBAMA NO
PRESIDENT OBAMA

LOVELY AIN'T IT SWEETIE

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

It would be great to see Edwards as AG.

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

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

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.

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!!

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.

AN EXAMPLE OF A SELFLESS UNITER!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Obama '08

The ONLY one who can Beat McCain in November !

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Hillary can.

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.

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

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

Yes We Can in 2008

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??

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

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

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

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!!!

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.

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.

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

Too bad, the two would be a great team.

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

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.

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

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

Once a Republican, always a Republican.

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.

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.

GO HILLARY!!

IF NOT HILLARY….THEN MCCAIN!!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Obama/? 08″

Not Hillary either.

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

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

OBAMA 08

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!!!!!!!!!

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

Poor Clintonites, still grumbling….

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

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?

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

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.

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 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.

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?

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

Thanks for your support, Mr. Edwards!

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

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

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

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.

Yep, sounds like Attorney General to me.

good!!!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Edwards would make a great attorney general!

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.

Just look the two emperors with no clothes

LOL, He wants the Attorney Generals position

Go Hillary…if not Hillary….then McCain.

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

Give John a break!

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

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.

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

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