Considering Edwards makes my skin crawl more than any other candidate I hope it isn't over.

While I'm sure Obama is happy that Edwards finally took the fence pole out of his arse and bet on the horse that has already crossed the finish line, I don't think Edwards is a serious VP option for Obama.

What does Edwards bring to the table? No military experience, No foreign policy experience, a failed VP run. Meh. Obama can do better.

I would agree that Edwards is not a good candidate for VP. My guess is there was a promise of becoming the AG.

Edwards might help Obama with white southerners, but that would be about it. Moonliner is right in that he offers nothing.

Obama fired back today at Bush's Nazi comment. I thought his response was great.

Bush pulled a Godwin? I missed that.




ETA: found one story on this - I am sure there are many more. From that story:
Quote:

US President George W Bush has ignited a heated political row with Democratic White House hopeful Senator Barack Obama, by implying that Senator Obama's pledge to talk to the leaders of Iran and Syria is like the appeasement policies towards the Nazis before World War II.

In Israel at an even celebrating 60 years of statehood.
Quote:

Speaking before the Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel's statehood, Bush said, "Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: 'Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is –- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."

Stupid politicians.

The Senator Bush quoted was a conservative Republican. Nice research Georgie.

However, Obama was silly to go on the defense. He should have just chided Bush for insulting Jimmy Carter. He's the one having meetings with terrorists, y'know...
