John Edwards " Pick Me" Pick Meeeee"
Edwards would 'seriously consider' VP offer
John Edwards said Tuesday that if he were asked to accept the vice presidential slot or a cabinet position in a potential Barack Obama administration, he would “seriously consider” whatever the Illinois senator asked him to do.
It has been widely reported that the former North Carolina senator is on Obama’s vice presidential shortlist. On Tuesday, NPR interviewer Guy Raz called the former Democratic presidential candidate’s presence on the list an “open secret,” and asked Edwards whether he’d weigh accepting a vice presidential offer, or might take himself out of consideration as Virginia Senator Jim Webb had done Monday.
“I’m glad to hear that’s an open secret because I didn’t know it,” joked Edwards of his rumored consideration as Obama’s running mate.
“My answer to that is, I’ve run for vice president, I’ve run for president twice. I would do anything that I felt I could do to serve this country but I think it’s a huge presumption for me or anybody else to suggest what Senator Obama may decide,” he said.
To answer your question directly: I don’t expect to be asked, have no expectation about it at all, I will – anything that Senator Obama asks me to do, including this, including campaigning for him, I intend to do, because what I’m going to do, I intend to take seriously,” he added. “What I intend to do is everything in my power, use everything in my power to make sure that he’s the next president.”
Pressed on whether that meant he might join the ticket if asked, Edwards would not rule it out. “I am prepared to seriously consider anything, anything he asks me to do for our country,” he told NPR.
Wild Thing's comment........
As VP, maybe he could also head a new Cabinet position in Obama's Universal Health Care scheme--- "Secretary of Ambulance-Chasing".
Edwards would 'seriously consider' VP offer
Edwards would seriously consider an offer from the "Book of the Month Club" He would take anything he could get.
LOL , Obama who thinks there are 57 states, and a VP who thinks there are 2 Americas.

Wouldn't it be funny if B. Hussein told him to get lost or go jump in a lake.

It will be very interesting to see who the great Obama the Liar picks- for his VP-- Bill Clinton- comes to mind, he would bring experience Obama lacks- it would bring Hillary's dems and bring the Dems together (?)! Obama would absolutely WIN with Bill-!! Imagine that BS!! A half honkey -and a real honkey who was the first black president! LMAO- Obama would have to wear kevlar to bed!!

"Secretary of ambulance chasing"! Excellent WT. As bad as so many of the RINOs are, the Democrats have a stable of politicians that if they were cattle, ranchers would immediately send them to the slaughter house so they would not breed and infect the rest of the herd.
Edwards is absolutely in love with himself, and his hair. He may well be given a position if Obama wins. If so, we will only be able to laugh out of frustration at what this bunch of Democrats will do.

Well since Obama is NOT all black(half-honkie) then he doesn't qualify to be called the first black president.
Edwards is another one that could be considered the kiss of death for a campaign. Asking Edwards to be the VP is like asking Typhoid Mary for a flu shot.

Barack Obama and John Edwards are a good match. They are both elitists with over inflated egos. One thinks that he walks on water while the other channels dead people to naive and ignorant juries.
