I was hoping for that also, why do you think it won't happen?
Because he won't endorse? Just curious.
I would say that he wont endorse and the fact that Edwards is the underachiever of the century. Good looking, Southerner, self made man who has a good looking Harvard Grad school daughter, 2 adorable younger kids, a strong, inspirational woman as a wife, lots of money and is intelligent. Despite all of that, the guy brought absolutely nothing to the Kerry ticket in 2004, has not learned his foreign policy, and could not even make the case for his broad appeal in the primaries against high negative, divisive Hillary and inexperienced, say alot of stupid stuff Obama. Edwards got all kinds of media attention, the kind the best candidates, Biden and Richardson deserved and did not get and he still could not get out of third place in the primaries. Obama, though not my favorite guy, is very smart and has run a good campaign with great advisers who, rest assured, have told him anyone but Edwards. Some possibilities:
1.) Governor Tim Kaine of Virginia
2.)Senator Jim Webb of Virginia*
3.)Fmr, Senator Sam Nunn of Georgia*
4.)Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebellius
5.)NM Governor Bill Richardson*
6.)MT governor Brian Schweitzer
7.)Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano.
I put asterisks next to the 3 most likely, as I feel these people with ample foreign policy/national security experience will be able to provide something Obama lacks. They are all geographic balancers too- Obama north, those guys, South and West. If I were the betting type, my bet would be on Richardson: chief executive who knows how to run a government/has had success on economy, energy/health care/crime, hands on foreign policy experience, experience in congress and finally, he is a Westerner, the fastest growing area of our country in general and for the Democrats in particular. He is also a Hispanic- may help with this fast growing group that Obama has had trouble with.
Just my two cents, sorry if it was long!
