Looks like a typical mug shot for a white collar felon.

[snarkytart]

So? He’s not high profile.
I don’t care, because unless Obama picks Clinton, the choice will not really matter to most people.

Obama Bin Lohan '08

She might be less qualified and would appeal to the youth demographic.

[xzins]

I’m not saying that she will be selected. I’m simply saying that of all the possible choices, she’s the logical choice.

Rearranging the letters C-H-E-T, we get T-H-E-C. This can only mean “The Clinton”. We need someone to confirm this via numerological analysis.

[JFC]

Obama and his handlers are eating up all this talk and anticapation.

Did Obama just strip the paint off an old Kerry campaign plane?

[El Gato]

WTH is Chet Edwards?

CongressCritter 17th district Texas.

[jonrick46]

Does this mean they will have to recount the hanging Chets?

[TomGuy]

Rush just read off a list of Chet Edwards’ votes.

If he is Obama’s pick, Obama’s VP nominee could be more conservative than McCain’s.

That would be a kicker.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Barack and Chet?

Here's the rest of the band:

[Norman Bates]

I dunno. How do people like Kathleen Sebelius and Janet Napolitano get elected governors of their respective states?

[El Gato]

Fort Hood is in his district.

Close but not quite. I live about a mile from Ft. Hood, and he's not my Congress Critter. See map in my previous post. Ft. Hood is mostly in Coryell county, but with most of the Cantonment areas in Bell county.

His district does include Crawford though, so he is the President's Congressman.

My Congressman, and the one who's district does include Ft. Hood. is Republican John Carter, of Texas' 31st District.

Wanna be there will be a number of elderly dem voters confused by this?

"Edwards...isn't he the one that was caught with that woman in a hotel? I'm not voting for them!"

[Gondring]

He’ll be disappointed when he finds out the name is CHET! I’m sure he misread it as CHEAT and said, “That’s my guy!”

[mort56]

Who is Chet Edwards?

He is Nancy Pelosi's boy toy!

[SlayerOfBunnies]

I dunno. How do people like Kathleen Sebelius and Janet Napolitano get elected governors of their respective states?

Never underestimate the power of morons in large numbers.

[Grunthor]

According to Rush he’s about as conservative as a Democrat gets these days, I think the Hillary womyn are going to be in a bigger snit if she doesn’t get it.

[liberlog]

Edwards was Nancy Pelosi’s pick. He struggles to get reelected in his Texas house district. This would be a stupid pick by Obama.

[Grunthor]

If he is Obama’s pick, Obama’s VP nominee could be more conservative than McCain.
