I would really like to see Obama run with Edwards. Obama is definitely the best presidential candidate and I think adding Edwards would make him that much more appealing. Really good post and great comments guys!

I’m an open minded conservative and I like the idea of Edwards as Obama’s running mate. I don’t feel like I “relate” to McCain, Hillary or Obama, or any of their spouses for that matter – none of them seem to speak for me – Edwards and his wife at least I feel like are people I can somewhat relate to (not the $400 haircuts for sure though). They are close to my age, with young children, they don’t belong to a radical church but rather one more like mine; I feel like they would know some of the concerns that face me and my family… I’m struggling in my choice between McCain and Obama and if he were to pick Edwards for VP, that would sway things for me toward Obama a bit more. I still think of Edwards as “The Breck” girl (as the pundits named him) sometimes though, I’d have to get over that.

I was just saying the same thing about Edward’s support today–real courageous. My speculation is that he was waiting for either the VP offer, or a high cabinet position.

I was talking to a friend today who said that the addition of Edwards to the Obama ticket would seal it for her…she would definitely vote for them (of course she is fully in the Obama Camp anyway). I can’t believe that Edwards would strengthen the ticket, as he has not even been successful in bringing his own state in. I’m sure there is something in it for him though…

Ahh, yes. Len, he who goes around to other blogs posting comments that demonstrate his ignorance.

Let me ask: why would it be a good thing for Edwards to endorse Obama? I mean, didn’t Edwards lose TWO bids to get into the White House, once as VP, once as President?

Yeah, just the kind of guy I want in my corner.

Why don’t you write a post explaining WHY Obama would make a good President? He certainly can’t seem to do the job himself, so perhaps he needs some help. He has no experience, no plan (except for taxing us into further debt), and hangs around with racists and unrepentant domestic terrorists.

Oh, and after building himself up as “a different kind of politician”, he has demonstrated that, in fact, he is the quintessential politician: Whine when I don’t get my way, and cry “racism” when someone dares question me.

Please. We are in a heap of trouble if Obama becomes President. He doesn’t have a clue. How could he? He’s barely spent anytime as a Senator! He doesn’t have any kind of extensive leadership experience. What, exactly, should make me want to vote for him? He hasn’t done anything to convince me. Maybe you can?

By the way, I’m from West Virginia. I have a college education. And yeah, I’m white. Obama’s color has nothing to do with why I don’t like him. I wouldn’t like him if he was the whitest guy on the planet. Despite your ignorant comment on “Shooting from the Right” West Virginians do have the ability to think for themselves, and maybe they realize Obama has NO EXPERIENCE. I can’t stand Hillary either, but at least she’s been around in a much more extensive leadership role.
