MSNBC claims Obama is floating Edwards as Attorney General...if Obama wins...
This is what Tucker Carlson is saying. Gene Robinson is doubting Obama would say anything like that at this point. I tend to agree.

Still, I think Edwards would be a TERRIFIC choice for Attorney General regardless whether Hillary or Obama wins (assuming Edwards loses)

3. Tucker Carlson?!
:rofl:

If you needed proof that the MSM is scared shitless of an Edwards nomination, and is willing to say anything to try and discourage his base, you've got it right there.

4. Deja vu 2004 - Dean trying to neutralize Clark with such rumors
Even got an union endorsement implying a non-existent agreement. Same old, same old.

...Kucinich as his VP and he'd be unsotoppable or Boxer.

13. Obama's trying to steal the Edwards voters.

20. In the short term. If he is VP he can become president in 2016.

19. Dunno if that will happen at all...
But I seriously think that when Edwards wins the presidency, he ought to consider Obama for a cabinet post.

22. Aside from Tucks (think about the soothing pad) being full of crap ...
I can see the Republicans exercising what they tried to take away with the nuclear option ... on sheer principle ... oh, wait a minute ... ????????? ... I used "Republicans" and "principle" in the same sentence? OMFG!!!
