By endorsing neither, Edwards is obviously trying to position himself to be the eventual winner's VP. I agree with an earlier post elsewhere that Richardson makes a lot more sense as a VP choice for either. Edwards just isn't distinct enough to add anything to the ticket.

No - sorry, I have a hard time listening to Hillary

Freaking suck-up. Worst part is, barring some mega huge scandal that nobody is going to waste funds digging up now, he'll probably succeed.

Well, in terms of VP, they both definitely need someone from the south. I am not as sure that Bill Richardson is Captain Awesome here, at least not any more than Edwards. Edwards also has an incredible amount of face time and exposure, which is to his benefit. Not to say that Richardson hasn't done a lot, he certainly has. I just think that Obama and Hillary wouldn't require a governor of New Mexico to pull any votes from the Southwest.
That's just my thoughts - I haven't listened to any punditry on that. |
Edwards makes me vomit, more so than Hillary. The man is a smarmy condescending multi-millionaire poverty pimp hypocrite.
There is nothing wrong with money, but the whole "two Americas" coming from his mouth is really, really sickening. |

I also really like Obama and I've been following him as well since his great speech at the DNC, but one thing worries me. He reminds me a lot of the star college freshman athlete who explodes on the scene, racks up numbers and glory and decides to go pro right away only to wash out and realize that he should have taken advantage of his college years since there really is something to this "experience" thing. If he waited until 2012 I think he'd ride all the way to the White House with little opposition, but this early in his career it's a bit of a stretch, in my opinion. Either way, he's a man I do admire and I'd vote him in any day over Bull Dog Clinton or virtually any Republican. Should be an interesting election.

Sure, but sometimes you get a Kobe Bryant (I'm talking about basketball talent at the top level not his qualities as a human being).
I can understand where he's coming from. I'm sure it was a very attractive idea to just wait for the next chance, but there's no guarantee the next chance will be there (look at the front runners from 2000 who probably figured they'd just have to wait through the Bush years and get take their turn). If he stood aside and Clinton won then he wouldn't be looking at 2012 but rather 2016 who knows how the world and the competition will change by then. Plus, while the Republicans have a history of sticking with a politician through several election cycles the Democrats seem much more fickle in that regard. |
