MADRID, Spain - Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards has ruled out being Barack Obama's running mate on the Democratic presidential ticket, according to interviews carried by two leading Spanish newspapers on Friday.

"I already had the privilege of running for vice president in 2004, and I won't do it again," Edwards was quoted by El Mundo as saying. El Pais, the country's other leading daily, carried similar comments.

I'm a bit saddened by this although it comes as no surprise. Edwards in 2016 has a nice ring to it and being VP might be a positive. I apologize if this is old new...I searched for other DU threads but didn't see this story.
