[QueenOfCalifornia]

I know what I want for Mothers Day! I want to see an Obama/Edwards '08 bumper sticker on my Isuzu Rodeo! I get giddy just thinking about it.
Who else feels warm all over when they picture this?

1. I'd love that! +1

20. Hey everyone - How about some Recs for this Obama Edwards thread!

[yourguide]

21. gave it a rec!

2. While I would love it I believe that Edwards is headed into the administration as AG

[MannyGoldstein]

3. The Predatory-Lending Hedge Fund Is A Huge Turn-Off

Sorry.

4. BUZZ KILL BUZZ KILL! eom

33. How so?

Seems RATIONAL to me to question a candidate who in September of 2006 goes to work for a hedge fund (Fortress Investments) and then a week later, embarks on a two America's tour.

You don't see something wrong with that picture?

[Wetzelbill]

34. I'm just teasing

because the previous posts up until that one were all happy and excited. :)

5. I want Edwards to be AG. My VP picks are:

Boxer (I know! We need her in the Senate)
Sebelius
Richardson
Clinton

[QueenOfCalifornia]

7. Oh.... I know

I like that too but there is something wonderful about having 2 smart, wonderful people on the same ticket. Humor me damn it!

[patrice]

12. I think the country would fall in Love with them, Really! Edwards WAS my first pick for VP.

I am an Edwards-ian Deanocrat supporting Obama.

[Wetzelbill]

6. it would be cool

but I think Edwards may have moved on from the idea of being a VP. AG would be something interesting for him though. I'd love to see him in either position.

9. NO!

His message of two Americas is too close to TWO RACES.......won't work......

He has a family to take care of........advisor to President Obama.......work from home.......

That's all we can expect from this once media star........there's thousands of other not-so-beautiful looking men with equal intelligence and character....Obama has a lot to choose from... Edwards' day as a media star is OVER.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

10. Don't make me pull over

and make you walk home!

[QueenOfCalifornia]

27. I have to take

umbrage -

Edwards is the real deal. I have never felt he was a media star. That sounds so shallow and trivializes a man whom I greatly admire. The Edwards I am familiar with cares about the poor and wants to help create a country we can all be proud of once again. His ideas for health care and social programs are fantastic. He is a smart man with a lot to offer beyond sitting behind a desk at home.

I hope that he will be offered the job -

peace.

11. I think it is irrelevant since I am sure Edwards is not interested.

I realize he has not signed the required DU pledge in blood that he does not want the VP spot, but I still do not understand what he would bring to the ticket that Obama lacks. Experience? Military or national security experience? A governor who has experience in running a state and its budget? Edwards is a great guy, but I don't think he helps to fill in the gaps for Obama in making a stronger ticket.

[MrSlayer]

13. I supported Edwards for the nomination but I do not support him for VP.

I don't think he brings anything to the table as far as national security/foreign policy which is an area Obama needs to shore up. I'm a big fan but he needed to be on the top of the ticket this time around.

[Blue_In_AK]

14. I'd rather he had a more functional role than VP

attorney general maybe.

[Cha]

15. I would love it...

John Edwards would be an Upper as opposed to hilary the downer.

[DrDan]

16. I would prefer Obama on an Edwards ticket

does that count?

[IDemo]

17. I was an Edwards supporter after Kucinich and before Obama

I think it would be terrific, but he has made it clear he doesn't want to run as a VP again.

[Raejeanowl]

18. It Would Assuage Things A Bit For Me, But

That isn't the point.

Edwards wouldn't have the long adversarial history of the more controversial choice. He brings his own strengths and supporters. The ticket would seem more rounded, populist, and still comparatively progressive.

I think I am afraid Obama's going to make some off-the-wall or unknown choice exacerbating the difficulty of a Clinton supporter like me getting behind him. Since I was aboard with Edwards before Hillary, I would be happy with it. Yeah, I'd love it.

[WA98296]

19. I would quit my job and volunteer ALL my time working for that team's campaign!

[anonymous171]

22. Personally I think it would be awesome. But realistically, not so much.

Edwards was my second choice in the beginning. I liked his stances but went with Obama for electability.

[Tribetime]

23. sounds good to me

[SaveAmerica]

24. I'd be happy with Edwards or Webb, 2 different kinds of men with the good of the people as their

priority.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

25. Imagine that

the good of the people....

I want that so much for this country.

[newmajority]

26. The John Edwards who wants to bring down corporatism cannot be VP

A vice president isn't equipped to attack those bastards. But the chief law enforcement officer in the country is.

[stevietheman]

29. Exactly! n/t

n/t

[Secret_Society]

28. The only VP I want more than HRC

I just can't imagine Edwards trying to be number 2 again. I don't think he a particularly pleasurable experience last time.

[donheld]

30. Works for me

[QueenOfCalifornia]

32. See...

you are the smart one here.

BUT - that thing in your sig line gives me the hiccups :hi:

[AtomicKitten]

31. I think both men would be better served with Edwards in a cabinet position.
