Thank you John Edwards, for your advocacy on behalf of hard working Americans.  Thank you for the campaign you ran against the way business is currently done in Washington, DC.  And thank you for your endorsement of Barack Obama, the next president of the United States.

P.S. I hope to see you as Attorney General in the Obama administration, helping to correct the outrages -- torture, civil liberties infringed, presidential power out of control, corporations run amok -- we've seen under John Ashcroft, Alberto Gonzales and Michael Mukasey.

"This election is about taking down these walls that divide us, so that we can see what's possible...that one America that we can build together.  Barack Obama understand that to his core." - John Edwards

John Edwards multitasking (Greg Kane - 5/15/2008 9:34:03 AM)

John Edwards would make a great Attorney General. The exact opposite of the Bush league. If a point of principle or law became an issue, I can easily see John Edwards standing up to anyone, even the President.

However, he may be needed as the "compromise" VP. Clinton will never work as the VP - the list of reasons why is nearly endless. Wrapping up a unified party at the convention is critically important.

Of course, there is no reason that I know of that says he can't have both positions.

Good point.  I would also like to appoint him to head the DOL.  ;-)

I think he could do three jobs better than any Bush appointee could do one.



Watching this makes me realize again why I (thegools - 5/15/2008 11:15:10 AM)
supported John Edwards all this time.  I just wish it were
Edwards/Obama.  That ticket would be unbeatable.  But given the circumstances Obama/ Edwards would be next strongest.  

I just hope one day to see Edwards as President.    



Edwards would consider VP (DanG - 5/15/2008 12:21:17 PM)
Aides have said he would consider VP, but is expecting and really wants to be Attorney General.

Obama for President
Webb for VP
Richardson for Sec State
Edwards for AG
Clark for Sec Def



Don't want to get ahead (aznew - 5/15/2008 12:34:11 PM)
But I think Joe Biden would be a better Secretary of State (nothing against Richardson).


I could go with either (DanG - 5/15/2008 5:42:38 PM)
I actually had Biden down first, but changed it.  


Excellent Choices (oldsoldier - 5/15/2008 1:35:34 PM)
Got to have Webb as VP to give Obama his best shot at McCain.  Much as we'd like to keep him as our senator, it is much more important to win the Presidency because "It's the supreme court, stupid", and that brings me to Edwards.

As AG, he just might be able to staff DOJ with competent investigators and trial lawyers to go after the war profiteers and return their ill-gotten gains to the treasury.  Then, at some point, it's off to the Supreme Court providing a replacement AG could be found to keep up the good work he is sure to start.  Nothing like sending Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and what's his name, the other bushie, a neighbor of the "there goes the neighborhood" type.
