The AP wire is buzzing the past few minutes that Obama is set to surprise all with picking Rep. Chet Edwards (D-TX) as his vice presidential selection, perhaps by the middle of this afternoon. [Moderator--please pull this thread if this turns out to be a red herring]

To me, Bambi tipped his hand to Chet Edwards by saying the person was “willing to challenge his thinking”. That’s how he can explain away why Edwards has the opposite position on the Iraq War.

That would be an unusual choice but he’s W’s congressman so maybe Obama is going with symbolism over substance?

*Edwards lives in Waco and his district includes Bush’s parish
*Edwards endorses Obama
*Pelosi recommended Edwards to Obama.
*Edwards said he would accept if offered.

OMG how funny. I live in his district. He’s to the right of Obama and has a strong record supporting the military (Fort Hood is in his district. On reflection maybe not such a bad pick — gives Obama a chance of putting delegate rich Texas in his column and pulling some military votes.

This would be a surprise indeed. Edwards has a 100% rating from the NRA.
