Two questions about the Edwards endorsement....
1. Do you think this makes it likely that Edwards will be Obama's choice for VP?

and

2. Do you think Edwards got his Jetski?



I think the reason Edwards has been on TV lately to send signals to Hillary that it was time for her to bow out. As someone who had to make this same painful decision for the good of the party recently, he had some serious credibility to speak to this issue. In my opinion, he may have been asked to appeal to her in a gentle way. But when it became obvious that she was in it for the long haul, he did what he had to do to resolve the issue without further damage... to the party and to herself..

It's a good day!

17. Edwards will make a great AG!
All these little bull$hit rules that the * admin has inserted into policies to protect these megacorporations are about to go bye-bye!

And we will find out what has happened to all those billions of $ in cash that was shipped to Iraq on pallets!

10. You're right!
It was two Jetskis:D and a spy job right?

Well I guess that counts out the VP position, lol.

5. One if by land, two if by jetski, actually he got 7% in WV

He realized his voice does matter for the best choice and best interest of Democrats.

Hillary knew when she gave her speech.

7. I'm thinking that Obama's had this support-announcement thing planned out for a long time...
Funny how the day after Clinton's "world changing" smashing WV victory 2 HUGE announcements of support and a few additional ones appear for Obama.

12. Last week, she knew, you could here her change, and he slipped friday
They were not going to waste it on WV because they couldn't move it that much, but it will impact KY

18. I think you're right...
except I think that maybe they wanted to give her a chance to go out high after the WV win. When it became apparent that she was still dragging on, they went forward. I think Obama is brilliant- his learning curve is unbelievable!

11. I'd rather see him as AG
He would be more likely to go after BushCo... Obama has already said he would limit an investigation to the information we already have... jeez.

19. He would be a great AG!
But now that I think about it.. didn't he say he wanted a position as a spy? somewhere he could use those Jetskis? ;)

I just watched his speech... what a great man he is. I am seriously excited to see where he will fit into an Obama administration!

13. 1. No. I think he already said he doesn't want the job.
2. No, again. Unless his hair is made of titanium.
