As VP, maybe he could also head a new Cabinet position in Obama's Universal Health Care scheme--- "Secretary of Ambulance-Chasing".

John Edwards said Tuesday that if he were asked to accept the vice presidential slot or a cabinet position in a potential Barack Obama administration, he would “seriously consider” whatever the Illinois senator asked him to do.
It has been widely reported that the former North Carolina senator is on Obama’s vice presidential shortlist. On Tuesday, NPR interviewer Guy Raz called the former Democratic presidential candidate’s presence on the list an “open secret,” and asked Edwards whether he’d weigh accepting a vice presidential offer, or might take himself out of consideration as Virginia Senator Jim Webb had done Monday.
“I’m glad to hear that’s an open secret because I didn’t know it,” joked Edwards of his rumored consideration as Obama’s running mate

Oh please please
Kerry later regretted picking him. Maybe Obama will make the same mistake.
Oh please, oh please, oh please.
This horribly depressing election, with two of the worst candidates I’ve seen the two major political parties put up in my lifetime, could use some humor.
Bring back the “breck girl” and “silky pony” jokes!
Edwards would seriously consider an offer from the "Book of the Month Club".....he's lonely and he feels left out.
He'd take anything he can get.
I don't doubt that for a second.
...and a shampoo, and a rinse, and a style, and some mousse, and a manicure, and a pedicure...
Our new form of government: Mediocracy
Mike Easley would be a better choice
Obama is going to pick someone who oozes experience. Obama-Edwards would be assailed on experience.
Oh please, Barry, pick this feckless clown. Pleeeeeeaaasssseeee....
Who does he think he is fooling? Edwards is like that kid who never gets picked but is really anxious to be, shouting, “Pick me! Pick me!”
More “Two Americas” speeches. One for wealthy trial attorneys who live in mansions and the other America, the one he reads about in the New York Times.
He might make a formidable veep.
Who would have the bigger ego?
Obama may be worldly ignorant, but even he is not that stupid.
Translation: “I’m begging. BEGGING!”
It didn't do much to bring out Kerry's sparkling and vibrant personality.
I hope if he is picked and I have to see him on the news every 15 minutes, that he gets that hanging chad taken off his lip....
Edwards might deliver S Carolina this time.
Kakistocracy: Government by the least qualified and least principled (e.g. worst citizens).
OH NO!!!!!!
With Edwards as VP, Obama will surely take North Carolina!!!!
/LOL
One could say the same thing about Edwards as Gertrude Stein said about Oakland: There's no "there" there. Never before in U.S. political history has someone leveraged such a thin resume into two Presidential runs and a VP nomination. Let's not forget: Edwards was elected to the Senate on a fluke in 1998, and would have been defeated for reelection in 2004. So, what the heck, run for Prez. I'll never understand how he got as far as he did. But the road has come to an end.
As would Onelifetogive.
I think Edwards would be a third choice.
Obama NEEDS someone with foreign policy creds, badly.
But, if he hasn’t gotten Hilary’s folks solidly behind him by convention, he may feel he needs to pick a woman.
Edwards might work out because he would take all the heat and people would stop looking as closely at Obama. It’s a long shot, but it might work.
My fear is that it’s not Obama who will ask him...
But will Obambi kiss the silk pony when they lose?
WOW, you are an optimist! ;-)
Not a chance.
The polls, if they are to be believed. appear to be so tilted in Obama’s favor that he could pick Micky Mouse as VP and still win.
this ‘man’ is absolutely pathetic!!! Whatever takes him closer to the white house he will do and he doesn’t care what it would take!
“Edwards would seriously consider an offer from the “Book of the Month Club”
LOLOLOLOL!
Just what we need....
A president who thinks there are 60 states, and a VP who thinks there are 2 Americas.
[/s]
Some of these people are devoids.
That would be a delight. I still think Obama is going more for the vein of Richards but then again he may shock the world with a dud. Edwards provides too much material. He and John Kerry were ready made for comedy central.
I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised, after seeing the pics from his endorsement speech. Those two looked like they needed to get a room.
Excellent! LOL.
LOL! I have so stolen that-— with your permission, of course! : )
Well I think Edwards is holding out for AG.
THAT would be a nightmare.
Well of course he would seriously consider the post.
Don’t forget now, his father did work in a “meal”.
?
Just think, if Kerry had been elected “Christopher Reeves would have jumped up out of his wheelchair” as predicted by John Edwards. JE is probably the closest thing Obama could find to someone even more communist than he is.
So much for the “I need to concentrate all my time helping poor people” thing he had going.
Put me in the “oh please let the marxist pick the silky pony” camp too.
you took the words right off of my keyboard!
