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]

I thought it was racist to mention Obama and “dark horse” in the same article.

Unless they verify this news by posting a fake birth certificate at BarackObama.com, I’m not buying it. :)

Chet Edwards was my congressman for many years.

He is a typical democrat, a smarmy a-hole. He votes both sides of lots of issues in order to obscure his voting record in a conservative district.

He is very liberal.

That must be why Joe Biden yelled at some guy to get off his lawn, pal. He must be fuming.

his name at birth was Chester....I can see him following behind the Obama-nation with a decided limp yelling "Mr. President...Mr. President"

If it is Chet Edwards, the pick does not elevate Obama. It devalues Edwards. It doesn’t matter because Hillary is going to roll Obama at the convention.

Obambi may name Paris Hilton as his running mate too...but it’s doubtful.

Bulletin - Bulletin:

In naming Chet Edwards, Senator Osamabama has found someone even less qualified then himself to be President!

This is PROOF Senator Osamabama can do those things others considered impossible!

Chet Edwards??

That would easily be the most inexperienced, unknown ticket with a big letter next to it in all of American history.
