How about Edwards for Senate again?

Aren't NC Dems still looking for a challenger to Liddy Dole?

I definitely want to see John Edwards remain a voice in politics.

1. He will be. I doubt he'll run for Senate again.

2. That's an interesting question. I think it's too late for him for this year.

I wish that John Edwards had stayed senator of NC for longer. I think he would have won reelection and we'd be looking at reelecting him again, instead of facing another six years of Dole. Sigh.

However, Edwards's message is a national message. I'm sorry that the media never gave him a chance in this primary season.

3. Agree. I hope he finds a venue to make a difference.

Senate wouldn't be a bad choice, imo, but I'm not the guy making the decision, obviously. I'll be interested to see what's next for him. He's got a lot of time for the national stage still.

8. AG is a very powerful positon. JE would really make a difference in that role.

I am all for it.

7. It seems questionable that he could win such a race.

After all this if he runs for the Senate and loses, he would have no entrance into politics ever again.

On second thought...maybe he should run...
