Edwards taps former Rep. to lead potential campaign

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former Rep. David Bonior, a one-time leader in Congress who has close ties to labor unions, has signed on to manage a future John Edwards presidential campaign.

Edwards hasn't announced a repeat of his 2004 presidential bid yet, but an Edwards adviser said Thursday that Bonior will run the effort if Edwards decides to run. In the meantime, Bonior has signed on as a senior adviser to Edwards' leadership PAC, the One America Committee.

Bonior represented Detroit's northern suburbs for 26 years in the House, rising to be the No. 2 Democrat before stepping down in 2002 for an unsuccessful campaign for Michigan governor.

1. Good man but i hope Edwards doesn't adopt Bonior's anti-choice positions.
Just sayin'...Bonior was one of the few anti-choice dems around, you know.

2. I did not know that. I do know he is a tough-minded brawler.
Didn't realize he is anti-choice.
