This is Sunday and the first day I've had the opportunity to watch the debates
The bottom line that I want to come out with is my presumed fact that Edwards and Obama realize that there is a coming tidal wave of people wanting change of the status quo, a movement if you will, of people demanding change in government. Both from democrats and republicans. The democrats offer two candidates that are for real change. Edwards and Obama(All this since Kucinich and Dodd are now in effect eliminated).

The ticket of Edwards and Obama or Obama and Edwards would be wonderful for this country. I would prefer an Edwards/Obama candidacy, but either one would do. I believe they both stand for a real change in government and will work very hard to do so. I also see Bill Richardson as a high ranking member(Secretary of State?) of their administration.

Hillary? I see her and Bill retiring to Arkansas and having fun.

1. I think an Edwards/Obama ticket would be incredible BUT that would be
change and change (which of course I want more than anything but I think we'd have an outstanding ticket if we could have change (Edwards) AND experience. It's fun to think about who that experience candidate might be (not Hillary).Man, for us political junkies, this is f'in Heaven!!!!!!!!1

2. Not only Heaven
but necessary for the survival of the United States. How about, oh I don't know. take your pick, Biden, Dodd, Kucinich. There is some experience.

All of them would be excellent cabinet members and a message to the rest of the world that we are serious about re-joining the rest of the humans on this planet.
