Well a loser with a loser. That makes sense.

I wish the girlie man would pick him. That would be so nice.

Obama changes his positions like i change my undies. daily sometimes twice a day.

Vote McCain. He appreciates our values and will hold them sacred.

WHO RUNS FOR VICE PRESIDENT TWICE? in the HISTORY of the US that has never happened….he would lose AGAIN.

HILLARY VP 08!!!!

ALL DEMOCRATS,

DON'T FALL FOR republicans poising as HRC SUPPORTERS…

THEY ARE TRYING TO INFECT 'anger' BETWEEN HRC SUPPORTERS AND OBAMA'S…

DON'T FIGHT evil WITH evil. THE BIBLE SAYS TO FIGHT IT WITH GOOD.

SO BLESS THEM!!!

I'm thinking Attorney General for the good Senator Edwards

"Edwards would seriously consider VP offer"…

Yeah, I think we pretty much knew that. He didn't really need to ask for in the media. Ok, John, we've got your name. Thanks…

The only ones who haven't recused themselves at this point are the ones Obama doesn't want. But, as one of his supporters said earlier, he can do it by himself anyway (in the Webb Not Interested article).

NObama N'08

Come on Edwards, do you want it?!!! Or not?!!!

There is definitely a role for John Edwards to play … not sure it will be VP though.

Whatever the role, he would be well positioned after an Obama administration to continue a Democratic stronghold on the Presidency.

please John, you left the race before i could vote for you in the California primary. id love to see a caring human being in the VP's office instead of the vampire we have now. just be sure to have the place disinfected & exorcised before you go in.

I have not heard of this "dream team"; why not Obama-Powell? Powell has openly "disagreed" with the current dummies and the GOP in general, has great respect in the nation for his military knowledge and achievements and is intelligent and could be a perfect addition to a team that wants to "CHANGE" things…

Why would we want him when Hillary is by far more popular and preferred by the American people. If we wanted Edwards, he would have been the finalist and not Hillary. So I think she is the best candidate…

Yes!!! Choose Edwards!!!

Yay! I love the Obama/Edwards ticket! Way to go guys

Edwards is the man. He helped Kerry if anything and Kerry lost because of the dirty Swift Boat smears and the failure to attack back quick enough. Too many people got conned by the GOP and most people have woke up in regards to the dirty GOP tactics. The GOP is the boy who cried wolf one too many times. They are liars and manipulators. Edwards would make a great VP.

really like Edwards…

Idiots keep bringing up Wright? you know nothing but sound bite reports…learn the facts. MCCAIN IS DIRTY!!!!

Obama's got time to decide.

Edwards would be a smart VP choice. As an undecided voter, this choice would make me lean strongly toward Obama.

Hmmm. I like the idea!

Of course he will accept. I don't care. I am a democrat, but thi time around I am voting republican. I am very angry with all this nonsense.

an Obama/Edwards ticket would be unstoppable. and the republicans wouldnt be able to use the VP against him, as they would if Hillary were chosen (remember the "commander in cheif threshold "remarks she made during the primary?= toxic) i think pretty much every democrat can agree with edwards

I smell a rat.

That would be an absolutely fabulous ticket!!!!!

NO!! That could blow it for Obama!!

This is GREAT news. I would love to see an Obama/Edwards ticket.
Two men who would bring a fresh modern outlook to Washington.

nO EDWARDS. The man is loser!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, he has now said that he would run with Obama twice. He is the professional begger, but he should join the ticket. Dumb and Dumber 2008.

Choosing Edwards was a mistake once and to do it again? It reminds me of a proverb I've heard before.

We most definitely need John Edwards in the new administration–but we need him to be Attorney General–to get to the bottom of that mess and straighten out our legal system. He'd be wasted as veep. Later he'd be great on the Supreme Court.

I would think this was the ORIGINAL dream ticket. Edwards is young energetic and doesn't have the "dirty politician" image. His wife is a champion for healthcare which will make it a priority of his as well. I say that's the ticket to beat. It's either him or Sebelius.

McFlip Flop does not have a prayer.

OBAMA '08!

Whew,

Now Obama has five choices for Vice President and they are the following:
Hillary Clinton
John Edwards
Sam Nunn
Wesley Clark
Bill Richardson.

I like John Edwards alot. I really like him as Obama's running mate. I hope Obama goes with Edwards, cause I don't think he has too many other serious options.

YOU GO JOHN!!! KEEP HIM HONEST!!

I don't think so.

Ah Johnny you were so successful in helping Kerry in 2004 huh.
Couldnt even carry your home state. Endorsed obama even though Elizabeth wanted Hillary.

Any man who would campaign for the presidency when his wife is struggle with cancer does not have her best interests at heart.

wow!!! John for VP! It's the best ever possible team, to take us back. Go Obama!

Looks like all of the politicians are flip-flopping these days. I do think Edwards would be a strong running mate for Obama, though.

If Edwards is VP, the deal will be sealed. McSame is going down.

Too many, "Willing to serve, the Nation"; but too few, "willing to fix the real problems, of the Nation". I say! Can I get an Amen, on that!

Oh Gosh, another flip flopper… He would be perfect with Obama. No, I will not be VP, well, Maybe, now, Yes, I will be VP if asked. Make up your mind Edwards. You're are already a 3 times loser. Why not make it four.

They will lose anyway. They play race card w/out any provocation.

Obama should ask Sharpton or Jackson.

This would be a WINNING ticket !!!

Ahh…so this is the DNC's way of getting rid of Hillary for VP.

No Obama/Hillary 08…NOBAMA. The DNC is playing with fire:
I will not vote for Obama, nor will I give money if HILLARY IS NOT THE VP. You give Edwards the VP when HILLARY GOT 18 MILLION VOTES.
This will be t he last straw.

Anyone But Hillary !

So what are we going to to, Madam Lucy. About this Alien Obama? It's too late, pretend we didn't know… When we get Elected, we will denounce Obama on his none American Citienship….

Yawn. He didn't get enough in 2004? Obama isn't getting my vote because of his new stance on the FISA bill so it doesn't matter, but he is going to need a VP with executive experience, that leaves Edwards out.

Do you want to be second in line for the most important job in the world or not, Ed? If Obama chooses him, the GOP will just point out how dear old John is a flipflopper.

What about Rev. Wright's Chances.

This is good news. Edwards is a man of character who would help Obama get this country headed in the right direction again.

THAT WILL BE AN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE
EDWARDS/OBAMA
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Refine is not the same as redefine.
We need put some good dictionaries in the hands of the GOP to make our lives easier. A little education is worse than none. Can you imagine how many lectures we had to do on this? It reminded me about "renounce and reject" November can't come sooner!! We have to educate people about the constitution, economy, diplomacy and now English. How low have we gone since the last seven years? Maybe Obama should leave big grammar and speak like a cowboy or a south-south Chicago guy. BTW, Edward will be a good VP.

An Obama/Edwards combination would no doubt be a strong ticket in being agents for change, restoring our image abroad, and above all making poverty a key issue over the next 4-8 years.

Here is the real dream ticket!

First no, then yes. The two fo them would be a perfect pair of going back on their word depenbding on how the wind is blowing.

John as much as I love you and did vote for you & Kerry, I am just not sure you are what Obama needs in a VEEp slot. I really believe Barack should seriously consider foreign policy credentials as a primary VP peep..

I can really see using your talents for a Prime position in the Barack's cabinet, Supreme Court or even the Attorney General top position..

Certainly find a place for you and keep you on the short list for cabinet members.. Prefect..!!

Yes…WE…Can… Obama/Biden 2008, 2012

HE should have been President.

But, he knows that we must all fight for the greater good which is a regime change in the White House.

Hope everyone else gets that.

I don't know if he can help. He certainly didn't pull in a state for Kerry in 04.

Go for it Johnny Beefcake! It'll make the country's decent into full blown Socialism even faster!

Edwards would make a great Vice President. 8 years as Vice President, then a run for President would be great for him. Might help Obama to get more attention from White Blue Collar workers too in the North, and in the South.

Richardson is the best match though. Another great Vice President, and would make a great President in 8 years.. Brilliant man, great politician, and could help get voters in the West.

Sebellius the female Kansas Governor would also be a great pick. Tons of experience. Just like Obama liked by both Democrats and Republicans. Plus could help get women voters. She'd make a great first female president too. Plus votes in Central U.S.

Obama can't go wrong with any of those 3!!!!

MR EDWARDS
WE WILL WELCOME YOU WITH OPEN ARMS.
SO MAYBE IT WILL BE =OBAMA/EDWARDS

we could think of hillary if her supporters were not so hateful and bitter.
they would ,ake life impossible for barack
only part of her supporters are bad

have a cool day

cnn post this

Sorry Edwards too late!

Obama/Edwards would be good………I like Obama/Richardson or Obama/Biden better.

I hope Obama doesn't come out a give a flip flopping speech.

Oh, Mr. Edwards! Would you ,sir, please do us the honor of accepting the VP position? I will spend my life savings putting this party in place to re-establish honor to this remarkable and blessed nation.

Been there done that. YAWN

I am completely tired of all these people, who keep on boring us with their many fervent promises not to vote for Obama. The last time I checked, the good ol' US of A, was and still is a democracy. As such its people are free to exercise their civic right, to vote for or against whomsoever they please.

You don't want to vote for Obama, and I cannot wait to vote for this "shining statesman… (Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia)" So shut the **** up, and go vote as you please in November, and we all will God willing, live to see the result of our collective votes.

Oh My God.

Is this guy really serious, he already was chosen as VP and we lost.

I am sorry but the only person they should serously consider is Senator Hillary Clinton, she won almost 18, 000, 000 votes, how many did Edwards received?

Thank you.

Clinton/Obama 2008

I think he can do better than VP. I think he should be Obama's first Supreme Court nominee. If there is a filibuster, use the nuclear option.

It's about time!! YEA!!
Obama '08

I say do it. Any senator or governor elected from a Republican state the better chances Obama will have a turning that state BLUE

He didn't get enough support from the people while running as a candidate. After failing so often in his tries for the white house, why would Obama even consider him as vp over Hillary who whupped him soundly.

I think Obama is looking for someone who won't threaten him, and Hillary is more than his match.

I don't know if it be Obama's best decision, but it sure wouldn't be his worst! A lot of people really like Edwards–including me.

NO… this guy couldnt deliver his own state!!!! he is a loser; let him focus as trial lawyer!!!

Loser. Why not Kerry, or even Dukakis for Veep?

Yeah he wants it. Edwards is the man. Woo hoo!

He would be a perfect choice. And he and Obama would get it done. No more NeoCons!

Edwards won't join the ticket. Been there done that.

Obama is going to get decimated in the general election. We have so many friends who didn't even show up at the polls during the primaries and they are voting for McCain. Sure we have some friends of ours that like Obama as well, but they have had a hard time lately articulating what he stands for. I enjoy reminding them that Obama's hardcore liberal stances are now shifting and he is backtracking on every promise he made not to be the same old same old. Guess what…he is just like the rest of them. At least with John we know what we are getting. Check his record.

He's perfect. He's got the total flip flop down.

I like Edwards, and I hope he seriously considers the offer. He knows Barack is really, really popular with the American people, and anyone Barack approaches would be popular with his following.

Obama/Edwards 08

john:

i didn't realize one "ran" for a VP spot. aren't you just tagging along on the ticket to get the #1 guy in?

edwards isn't running for anything. he would be chosen, and would have to accept or decline, but he's not "running" or campaigning for himself.

This guy will do anything to be either Pres or VP.

Pathetic!

Obama 08/12 and Edwards 16/20.

Sounds like a plan.

Obama 08

Edwards, Gore, Kerry………..

Strike one, two, three.

You're OUT!

You still need to fine out who is behind this empty suit, someone has paid big bucks to get Obama nominated.

Those who funded this operation will expect a return on this investment.

Are you kidding me Brandon, John Edwards doesn't do anything before talking to his family. He loves his wife and I think Elizabeth has probably been pushing him out there to get on the ticket.

Obama/Edwards 08

Well lets see Richardson, Biden and Edwards. That is probably all left on VP list. Of the three I like Biden, but I still will not vote for Obama. No I forgot the Governor of Kansas whats her name. Edwards could not win his own state in 2004. Richardson - words cannot describe him and then the Governor - he would not get any of Hillary's 18 million if he pick her. Obama is too arrogant to pick the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama is dead set against stiking Irans' nuclear facility as stated in jewsagainstobama.org. Would Edwards sway Obama on this or is he in total agreement with Obama on this issue?

Now that the magic has gone from the Obama campaign, what extraordinary things can they do to stop people from walking away in disappointment? Big rallies and speeches or VP? If there were any love existed, the love may have been burdened with guilt from the very start. But for most of us, we don’t need to suffer the mischief of love and the guilt placed upon us by others. We have choices.

Has somebody deceived us into thinking that we don’t have a choice? Nobody secured the nomination yet. The super delegates haven’t been giving a chance to vote yet. We have choices in Denver (we should), and then we have choices again in November.

By the way, how much money is enough to buy 18 million love and more?

VICE PRESIDENT CLINTON
OR
President John McCain

No Buddy, what about your chances of getting on the ticket–zero, which is what you are by the way.

Edwards couldnt even run and win the governship of North Carolina!

Best news I've heard all day as John Edwards should have been the Democratic Nominee these last 2 times now.
Great news!!

Iam a life long demo
who will not vote for obama
he is a sell out for all us demo
so who cares
take your wife she now pourd of the U_S_A

that's weird. the edwards bashers on here all seem to be voting for mccain. hhmmmm….

Obama/Edwards '08!

SAGE4OBAMA,

I totally agree with you. If he so easily cheated on his wife, do you really think he won't do it again? Morally, McCain is a trainwreck.

The so-called combat vet (as if that means something) say's: Well a loser with a loser. That makes sense. I wish the girlie man would pick him. That would be so nice. Obama changes his positions like i change my undies. daily sometimes twice a day. Vote McCain. He appreciates our values and will hold them sacred.

This real combat vet recognizes (like many others I'm sure) through your use of the term "girlie-man" that your IQ basically disqualifies you from having an intelligent opinion.

Go back and do your home work on both candidates and you'll certainly find Mc Stale is the flip flopper same-old same-old. I'm sure you voted for rock head W and therefore bear some respoonsibilty for the economy, the war and Bin Ladens permanent vacation.

Stay in the military where people tell you what to do and you're not required to think for yourself and do us all a favor.

Do Hillary supporters really think the Barack supporters will stand for her on the ticket? Let's get real, it's not happening.

If we wanted her to be VP, she would have been the president. We didn't want her as our president and we don't want her as our VP.

NO HILLARY, EVER !

So go whine, kick, scream, holler, say you're voting for McCain, yada, yada–we don't care. Pay for her debt, like the crazzies you are, and leave sane people alone.

Edwards for the Supreme Court? Are you serious!! Edwards as AG maybe, but not for the Supreme Court.

We need Edwards as AG so he can fire the Bush-appointed judges (and no one will complain about it…)

I think Obama and Edwards would relate very well together, but Edwards didn't get much support in past contests. I wonder why not?

Well CNN, why didn't you report that Warner just turned down the Democratic VP spot along with Webb and Strickland? Could it be that they know things don't look positive for Obama? Let Edwards accept the VP spot; it's his to lose AGAIN!

Dear Scott L,

Take your meds and dream on, McBush is not winning this election. There are too many Dems salivating to vote for Barack–overwhelmingly. My advice to you is to move out of the way because the Obama train is barreling down the tracks for Washington, D.C.

Edwards isnt a bad choice but there are others that would make a better VP right now. Yes Clinton is on that list but wouldnt be the best one for the job.

That explains the endorsement. What a chump. They would make a great pair of opportunists.

Edwards is loyal, and at least Barack wouldn't have to watch his back, as he would with Hillary and Bill.

Yeah, Hillary and Bill will help him alright, right off a cliff.

Obama/Edwards 08

FORGET IT JOHN. STAY AWAY. OBAMA IS NOT GOING TO WIN.

First Edwards says he wouldn't accept a VP nod. Now he says he will. The flip-flop team. That could be their slogan. One flopper joins another. I am ashamed to be a Democrat. Obama with all his Hollywood glitz disgusts me. It's like the American Idol version of Presidential politics. Disgusting.

As a reply to Willy's comment:

What the heck kid? Are you serious? Do you realize it is bad mojo to say anything but that you don't want the job until it is an official offer? I'm surprised Edwards went as far as he did. You are supposed to decline in front of the media.

And to call Obama "America's homey" is one of the more ridiculous things I've heard…

Hope Obama takes Edwards—-he's such a loser that he'll help us bring Obama down.

Sorry guys isn't it obvious like with Bush that McCain is just not a smart guy. In fact, he seems dumb. I sure don't want him representing our great country.

IS JOHN EDWARDS FLIP FLOPPING. DID HE NOT SAY PREVIOULSY
THAT HE WAS NOT RUNNING FOR VP?

We love you Edwards !!!!

Dee,

Of all the people you listed only John Edwards is a good choice. The others are okay, but most of them are not sincere about Barack, such as Hillary, Clark, and Richardson. I don't know Sam Nunn.

HILLARY SHOULD NOT TAKE THE POSITION OF VP IF IS OFFERED. SHE HAS NOTHING TO GAIN.
SHE IS BETTER QUALIFIED THAN BARACK AND ONE DAY SHE WILL BE PRESIDENT,

wooooooooo hooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! obama, ASK HIM!!!!

edwards was my first choice, so VP is good enough! imagine how AWESOME american will be again with two in the white house!! hooooorraaayyyy

A flip-flopper? I could have sworn he already said, "no". Can't anyone in politics give a straight answer? I will write Hillary on my ballot in November, no matter who these jerks decide to run with.

OBAMA HAS SOME SERIOUS THINKING AND EVALUATIING ON HIS VP CHOICES. HE IS BEING CLOSELY SCRUTINIZED NOW AS THE CONVENTION PREPARATIONS ARE GOING ON.
tHE NOTION THAT McCAIN IS "OLD" DOES NOT CARRY AS MUCH WEIGHT AS INEXPERIENCE DOES. ESPECIALLY MORE SO NOW THAT WAR WITH IRAN SEEMS INEVITABLE.. WOULD AMERICANS
VOTE FOR AN INEXPERIENCED CANDIDATE OVER A WAR HERO
AND WITH MUCH EXPERIENCE LIKE JOHN McCAIN?

LOL CNN, I love your Flashback: Kerry picks Edwards. I seriously think Obama should pick no Vp if that is legal.

Huge mistake, especially if McCain selects Romney as his running mate. Obama needs a moderate/centrist to beat a McCain/Romney ticket. Clinton would spell disaster as well.

Cnn: You are too obsessed with potential Obama VP's. Please take about substantives issues for e.g. the economy and world affairs. Day-after-day this network is looking more like Faux News.

No Obama ever!!!!!

He lost big this time and has nothing better to do. Give the Breck Girl a shot again.

Now this excites me…he would be an excellent VP!

We sure know what we are getting with McCain - THE SAME !

anyone who says they will not vote in this election is just plain stupid.

Yea, I would put these two birds together. In the end, it makes no difference who is VP because the head of the ticket is unelectable. So, get over it.

ISthat why he started to stick his head up you know where on obama?
guess he'll oick another looser won't he.

Frankly, I feel anyone who calls John Edwards a loser is probably someone who never finished school and is having trouble now paying their rent. John Edwards and Barack Obama are both self made men who became very successful because of hard work and by being self motivators. To succeed in this country, you need drive and brains. Both of these men have both.

And Combat Vet, if you have to change your undies twice a day, maybe you should change to Depends. What are you afraid of that cause's you to keep messing your pants. I'm afraid you are the loser.

We saw how that worked out in 2004, right? He did not even carry NC, his home state. Not a good move for the Dems.

To the gentleman who left the first comment "A Combat Vet Observation" You have to change your undies all the time, sometimes twice a day? I guess you'll be needing extra diapers when Obama becomes our next president.

Picking another (former) Senator would be a mistake. Would love to see someone not tainted by Washington politics - goes with his "CHANGE" message. Edwards could hold any Cabinet post and be successful and respected.
Let's face it….people are tired of "career politicians"…

H:

Have you heard of delusional disorder?

And… WE will seriously consider NEVER voting for that ticket!!!

I will accept the VP Position… I have no interest in the VP Position and I've said that many times…

I will DO ANYTHING, including be Senator Obama's VP to make sure he gets elected President… I am not interested in the VP Position…

John sounds just like Senator Obama: FLIP-FLOP…

I don't want Edwards as VP. He was part of the loser team, Kerry-Edwards. I see that as a problem.
I'd like to see Obama pick someone fresh.
I'd really prefer Hillary as VP.

We will remember in November!!! PUMA POWER!!

Scott L - I tried to check McCain's record but, sorry, I'm having a hard time deciding which McCain record to check. He has changed his position on many issues, includingh his own legislation, so I suppose he's one of the rest of them that you are speaking of. I think flip flop should be banned from the English language.

I wish people would stop with the Hillary for VP nonsense. Hillary comes with Bill Clinton and that will not be good for Democrats. Who in the world would want Bill looking over and questionning every action he takes- Not Obama. People forget that Bill served his two terms and nobody wants him to think he has a third term.
I really like the idea of Edwards as VP!

Of course Edwards would take it, if asked. Like duh.

Doesn't his cheezy grin say it all ??

Interesting. And what about the looming Social Security crisis? You know, the one that has a $30 trillion price tag and we have no money in savings. Maybe that's going to be the trade-off when we have national healthcare.

I'm Open to It … They got good Chemistry …

But Think Edwards looking for AG position …

Edwards, eh? Well, so many others who are serious about their futures - including Hillary - have already turned Barry down. I suppose Edwards figures that he's got nothing to lose. Unfortunately for Barry, it's not all that clear that Edwards would bring North Carolina to him the way that Webb would have brought Virginia.

Knoxville NFIL

Hmmmm… so Obama "did" buy Edwards a jetski afterall… ;->

I think the compliment each other, really well. I don't feel the tension between them, like I feel with Clinton. I think it would be a very good ticket.

Perfect match!!! I have always wanted Edwards on that ticket.
Could not ask for a better match!!!!!

Edwards would be a great choice, he is a true American who looks out for the little guy and not corporate America. Whomever is VP, I expect the Edwards and Hillary to work closely with Barack when he is elected.

Barack 08

P redictable Republicans
U ndercover
M asquerading
A s disgruntled Hillary supporters/Dems

What about Obama/Betancourt?
She's a P.O.W. and much prettier than McCain…she'd clinch the Catholic and Latino vote!
What a spunky lady…too bad she's not a citizen!

What is up with you bitter, angry, obviously delusional Hillary supporters? I also supported Hillary until she LOST, however for the sake of our Country I support Barrack Obama aka the guy that will be on the ballot this November. Jeez folks get over it already.
DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What will we do with another lawyer — making that a total of three — in the top two positions in the free world? Egads! Can't the donkeys find someone with integrity?

I THINK JOHN EDWARDS WOULD BE THE "PERFECT" VICE PRESIDENT FOR THE UNITED STATES. ACTUALLY, HE WAS MY PREFERENCE FOR PRESIDENT. NOT THAT I DID NOT LIKE OBAMA. BEING AN AFRICAN AMERICAN, I AM PROUD OF OBAMA. DURING THE EARLIER TIME OF THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATING PROCESS, I DID NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT BARACK OBAMA AND THE CIVIC WORK HE HAS DONE IN HIS COMMUNITY, BUT I KNEW ALOT ABOUT HOW JOHN EDWARDS WAS SACRIFING HIS LIFE TO HELP THE PEOPLE IN NEW ORLEANS WHO SO DESPERATELY NEEDED SOMEONE TO SPEAK AND ACT ON THEIR BEHALF.

Most of you, not all, reb or dem are idiots! It scares me that some of you get to vote.

Edwards is much better than Clinton!

Edwards for Attorney General, but not Veep.

Just what is needed - two inexperienced people occupying the two most important positions in the government. Edwards was not only unable to make his case to the American people in the 2004 primaries - he was also unable to carry his won state in the national election. In the 2008 primaries he again ran a distant third. I fail to see what he brings to the ticket ither than a pretty boy image. To be quite honest, his time would be better spent tending to his young children and his ailing wife.
Obama needs someone who will offset the weaknesses that he brings to the ticket. He needs someone with foreign policy experience and who has served in several different governmental positions. Of all the Democrats available - Bill Richardson is the obvious candidate. In addition, he brings Hispanic credentials.
While I have not made up my mind who I will support (I have voted Republican since I first voted in 1972 and frankly, I am very unhappy with the selection of John McCain) I do know that an Obama Edwards ticket will not get my vote. WHile I am no fan of Bill Richardson, I do feel that an Obama Richardson ticket would have much to offer and could very well get my vote in November.

Lou Dobbs, Jack and Wolf join Obama's cabinet. McCain can pickup DOG DOO from the white house grounds

John Edwards - brilliant choice! The main issue is the ECONOMY and Edwards has the strongest most sincere pro-worker platform of all the Dems. Sure the right-wing bigoted idiots (call them BIGIOTS) will make fun of his hair, but who cares?! Obama can't lose - unless he Were to choose Hillary, which is virtually impossible. Edwards would seal the deal. Can you spell L-A-N-D-S-L-I-D-E ?!

A SUGGESTION TO ALL YOU PSEUDO PRO-HILLARY RIGHT-WING NUT-JOBS: Get a life! Have you actually watched McCain give an entire speech?! Quite scarey! At least when he was a maverick he could speak from his convictions. Now he can only speak from teleprompters and sometimes he can barely read what he is saying.

Obama could run with Barney as his running mate and he would still trounce McCain!

not bad but keep looking get the best you can get ! Yes Obama Can!!!

First he says he won't accept the VP position, now he says he would consider it! Typical Liberal freedom hater to keep changing his mind, idiot!

Obama/Edwards 08!

when likely will vp announcements be just wondering ?

let's stop going around the subject, as an Obama fan I seriously would love to see Obama ask Hillary to be his Vice President. If he does that it's a done deal, we will have the first African American president in the USA…. the smell of change, the beggining of a new era.

Obama/ Clinton 08-12; 12-16
YES WE CAN.
SI SE PUEDE.
OUI NOUS POUVONS.
OUI NOU KAPAB.

I LOVE THE USA MORE THAN MY COUNTRY OF BIRTH, THERE I SAID IT….. I LOVE THE USA.

Hope everyone has moved their 401(k)s into bonds . . . . .

Obama/Edwards would be the combination that, more than any other, would cause a continued stock selloff, rise in layoffs ahead of inauguration, and kiss your benefits goodbye.

Any corporation that can trim costs ahead of these two will do so. Already WARN Act notices have skyrocketed

Remember, Roosevelt's tax policies, wealth redistribution, new regulations and agencies, and the seizure of gold coins, certificates and bullion did not end the Depression. WWII ended it. Ironic, huh?

BROOKLYN

So??????

Combat Vet states Loser with Loser?

Based on that logic Combat Vet supporting McCain must indicate he he is with McCain because he too comitted Treason while serving.

FYI: I'm a combat vet too, big fricken deal, no tags needed when you are patriotic. I served my country out of love for it, not so I can run around and campaign with its tag (hee hee, I just did though now didn't I). Only scum bags tote their service as some form of entitlement to respect and/or positions of authority. Now go figure out what I just called you junior.

OBAMA-EDWARDS !!!

Now THAT's a REAL DREAM TEAM.

Go Barack and John !!

Yes! An Obama/Edwards ticket would be made of pure awesome. As long as it's not Hillary or Nunn (have you seen that guy speak?) I'm for it. Obama/Edwards, Obama/Biden, Obama/Insert_Name_Here, I'll vote for it. I doubt this will be poasted, but it's worth a shot.

Oh, and to those PUMA people: are you really going to vote against your own best interests just because your horse lost? I preferred Dean over Kerry in '04, but nonetheless in November I went and voted for the Democratic ticket. Think before you vote.

OBAMA AND EDWARS WELCOME ABOARD THE 2008 EXPRESS////////

Just pick "Somebody", the suspense is killing me!(Just Words)………… from a "Real Republican!)

Only scum bags tote their service as some form of entitlement to respect and/or positions of authority. Now go figure out what I just called you junior.

Clark VP - Edwards Attorney General- Biden Sec. of State - Powell Sec. Defense, Richards Sec .Energy- H. Clinton Supreme Court Justice. Hillary on the supreme court will make the neo-con's heads pop off - and she could be there for many, many years!

I can't wait untill the debates Obama is going to just cream Mccain mr flip flop, flip flop, over 50 listed flip flop one after the other ( yes Obama can)!!!!

That's pretty pathetic that you wouldn't post my comment.

It figures. It only confirms your left-wing agenda.

What a joke.

I'm curious, in this age of electronic voting how do the "write in Hillary" crowd plan to write in Hillary?

Edwards would doom the ticket. Look how much he helped Kerry in '04. If Obama wants REAL change he will add Hillary to the ticket. It is the ONLY way for him to win now.

I like Edwards and think he is an honorable man. His wife is lovely and he likes Barack. He would be my number one choice for Barack.

Obama 08

Ahh, been there, done that…unsuccessfully.

Clinton for VP or stayin home.

Edwards would be a great pick for VP with Obama…..

and NO CLINTONS

Bad idea. Obama will lose, and he will have been on a losing ticket twice as VP candidate. Run the next time. Edwards had the best platform, but the media didn't cover him. All the attention was focused on Hillary and Obama. Obama is just too wishy-washy, and will taint Edwards' image. Edwards can stand on his own, not as #2–that is, if the media will give him a fair shake.

McCain 2008

I guess edwards wants to be on another losing ticket

McCain '08

Clinton '12

We need John Edwards like we need another gas tax. No thanks!

As much as I hate to admit it, recent polling suggests an Obama/Clinton ticket… in spite of the supposed threat of Hillary inciting some miraculous GOP get out the vote efforts come November.

Hillary, for historic and executive reasons, will corner the women's and Latino vote. The Dem voter mismatch with a Obama/Clinton ticket will overwhelm any GOP threat. Bill is the only wildcard in offering Hillary the spot and will be advised to be less visible and pull back on the campaign circuit. He will work the behind the scenes DNC fundraising.

Edwards will not draw the vote and is, instead, the likely next US attorney general.

The GOPs woeful trickle down voodoo economic policies, domestic mismanagement, and arrogant foreign policies have run their course.

Obama/Clinton '08 '12 and Clinton/Rendell '16 '20

Awesome. The ultimate tag team. Lets do this.

Oh yes please that will make it even more fun to vote for McCain.

PUMA POWER

Why would Obama pick Edwards when he could have Clinton? That just seems down-right stupid. Oh well, it's Washington.

Hillary people; Please drop Hillary once and for all. I am so tired and sick of hearing her name. Yes, Obama-Edwards!!!!!!

Obama is welcome to this spineless windbag

Edwards is a hypocrite. He said he was not interested in the VP slot and now he said if Obama asks him, he is interested. Whatever. I am voting for no one this year, because no one deserves my vote!

To all the people calling Edwards a loser:

YOU are the losers. What have you done better than Senator Edwards?
Just because his failures have been made public in the media whereas your miserable lives have been hidden from the camera's vicious eye does not make you experts on success and winning.

He is rich, articulate, handsome, and cool. Most of you people are ugly bitter trolls.

Obama/Edwards 08

YES YES YES!!!

That is my DREAM TICKET!!! I have that pick of them at Edwards' endorsement of Obama and MAN they look like a Presidential team.

I love that he went from absolutely not, to I don't expect to be asked to "I'll consider it".

YES YES YES!!!

Obama/Edwards '08/12

John Edwards would be a good choice,
I feel Dick Gephardt would be a better choice for Obama.

For McCain since this is all about the Economy
either Mitt Romney,John Kasich or Mayor Bloomberg
other choices may not add up so well in this climate.

Obama/Ralph Wiggum

Wasn't it not too long ago that he said he had no interest in becoming VP.
Flip flop flop flip flip flop.
Two of a kind!!

I'm confused, I thought he didn't want to be VP.

I don't want him on the ticket, he sure didn't help Kerry when America was STUPID ENOUGH TO ELECT BUSH. I was 14 and I knew that would be a mistake!

My favorite choices are Clinton and Gore.

Obama '08

lets do it!!!!!!!!

Obama may have the right stuff, but Edwards doesnt inspire anyone. I would place my bet on an Obama/Clinton ticket. It is a sure WIN to the White House. If not…What will the historians say?

Yes! Yes! Yes!
John Edwards would be perfect!
Give Joe Biden Secretary of State.
I love Mrs. Edwards.
This the best news I have heard today!

Obama/Edwards 2008-2016

Please elect this president carefully, this president will preside
over Dec 25th 2012 - possible end of world or a new begining??

So what's wrong with John Edwards. Americans don't seem to like anyone in their country. These blogs on CNN are becoming the most hateful blogs on the planet. I for one, will not be reading them anymore. It is too frightening to see you people self destruct. From a Foreign Observer.

Obama needs to be real careful about hangin with Edwards… He is a proven LOSER!

Edwards is a great guy, I don't see a problem with that. And another thing, OBAMA WILL WIN…no questions about it. It will be close but he'll be President.

What??????

Just a month ago, he said he would "not consider" such an invitation/

Oh brother! He's too late, way too late!!

I'm hoping that Biden is selected, or even Daschle, but not Edwards or never Clinton.

I think everyone blaming Edwards for Kerry's loss in 2004 needs to take a step back and give the man a break. Let's get serious here for a minute and look at the facts. Yes, it's true Edwards couldn't deliver his home state, but we do have to consider the political and economic climate of 2004. Kerry was leading Bush in many of the polls until the Swift Boat ads and the dirty smear tactics of the GOP and Bush campaign entered the public eye.

It's also true that Kerry wasn't the greatest candidate to begin with. He is a war hero with plenty of experience, but was still viewed as far too liberal to be able to pull away any of Bush's supporters or rally the Democratic base like Obama has done.

Out of the televised debates leading up to the 2004 election, I found the most interesting one to be the VP debate between Edwards and Cheney. John Edwards ran circles around Dick Cheney. He was charming, witty, and wasn't afraid to break the debate rules a couple of times to call Cheney out on his illegal practices within the administration.

Obama and Edwards are more alike than even Obama and Clinton were. They are two young, smart, good-looking men who represent a movement for change, who want to turn their back on the old politics of this country, and who want to turn the page on the failed Bush policies of the past 7 years.

I personally think they would make an excellent team.

Why bother having a VP?

Obama and his bots seems to think he can win this all by himself. And to hear them, you would think he's capable of running the country alone too!

Doesnot matter. Obama is not going to end the war, infact he is not even capable of doing so, if you listen to what he has been saying lately.
Obama with John Edwards by his side is going to lose the general election. Joe Biden is the best option for him. He might win with Joe Biden at his side. Biden is a very smart man and the only person to have a solution for Iraq. Richardson is an opportunist who donot have any respect for loyalty or friendship.

I know Obama needs Hillary to win, but I really hope that she doesnot accept that offer. She should be president, not vice president.

Not only did Mr. $400 haircut not help Kerry win, he couldn't even carry his own state when he was running for President. How is he suppose to help Obama?

Also, his wife if fighting cancer. Shouldn't he be spending time with her during that ordeal if he is such a "caring" person?

Although he endorsed Obama late in the game, I noticed his wife did not.

Yawn—- who cares about Edwards. It's not like he helped Kerry any in 04. Give it up guy.

Wow…this just proves that all those who claim they're not interested in the VP position are full of CRAP! JE said it twice, emphatically even.

Obama '08

Side Note: To all of the McCain fans, LMAO! That's all!

Bill Richardson!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama/Edwards

Phony/Loser

Go for it!
