Obama/Edwards = Unstoppable

Certainly more palatable than Obama/Clinton, however, I would prefer Obama/Bloomberg

no obama/wesley clark former general to balance the security toughness of sen mc cain and also the build a bridge with the hillary faction in the party

Well, now, it could be O/E, or O/C ...
But what ever happened to OBAMA/KERRY??

How about O/E, YEAH !!

Parallel philosophies, and Edwards would not have to answer to BILL C...
Plus, Kerry is a bit too cynical for me.
Edwards would garner more support.

Hillary'd make an excellent 2nd chair, given her previous closeness to the presidency, but I still think OBAMA can do better by bringing in more NEW BLOOD.

Edwards and he are closely aligned, and
also has a much more POSITIVE outlook...

Somebody please tell John that THIS TIME
he WILL be Vice President, as OBAMA IS the CONTEMPORARY JFK embodiment of HOPE.
Caroline Kennedy mentioned this of late.

HEY !!! How about Caroline for V.P.???
Or maybe she could handle a Cabinet ???
Just thinking out loud ...

The best VP choice for Obama is Joe Biden. Strong foreign-policy/national security background, gravitas, but not too much of an "establishment" Democrat (as in loose ties to the Clintons).

yeah definitely yes to O/E i think both will lead this country to a place where the world will start to envy us again.....I will say yes to that.

What about the woman gov. from the state of Kansas? Dont get me wrong, I like Edwards, but something doesnt sit well with me on the O/E ticket. For some reason I get a bad feeling about it. Lets face it, as like able as Edwards is he just can't seem to win over voters....

Edwards has made it clear that he is not interested in a VP spot, if he wants it, i would put him on HUD. Joe Biden would be an ideal VP for Obama.

Obama's economic speech yesterday was his suck-up to Edwards. Will it work? Or does Edwards recognize that Hillary's positions (on health care, economic help for the underclasses, and on and on) are very much closer to his own?

It's Clinton / Obama / Edwards AG - get used to it!

Edwards would be great as a DHHS head, and perhaps head of the DOJ. As per pairing a potential VP with Obama should he secure the nomination, HRC would probably be the preferred outcome of the DNC as long as the animus between the two does not get out of control in the next few months. Joe Biden is certainly an interesting possibility as he is eminently qualified and brings respected foreign policy experience to the table, but does he bring you votes? Given how badly Obama lost California in the primaries, he's going to want to strengthen his appeal in this state, the Southwest, and OH & PA. Outside of HRC, it's not clear than any other VP possibility would have such broad appeal. Perhaps Richardson insofar as CA as well as the Southwest (and he too brings foreign policy experience), but I'm not sure what his numbers looked like in OH & PA. Richardson might certainly blunt the appeal to Hispanic voters that McCain has had so far (this appeal might diminish after the GOP convention if McCain forcefully rescinds his previously more moderate views on immigration policy).

This Obama/Edwards dream ticket would be very strong and popular. I also suspect, however, that an Obama/Clark ticket would be stronger - especially since the GOP will attack Obama as naive, weak, untested, and slightly pacifist. Clark would provide some visual protection from those dangerous misperceptions during a time of war.

Since the Senate is so closely divided Edwards makes a better choice for VP than taking the losing Senator out of the Senate.

My personal preference is for Edwards for Supreme Court.

I guess we have hit running mate guessing-game time.

My money is on Obama-Warner.

Obama/Clark sounds awesome. The biggest problem would be that Clark wasn't a very dynamic campaigner. The second biggest problem would be that he's not "liberal" enough for the hard-core lefties.

Obama/Edwards would have different strengths and different weaknesses. Obama/Clark seems like the better choice to me because Obama/Edwards would seem too "young" and because Clark adds depth in the area of foreign policy.

I'd support either of those options with great enthusiasm!

If we're looking for a retired general, I'd advise Obama to have a talk with retired Marine Gen Anthony Zinni.

Not sure he's a Democrat, but then who knew Clark was before he ran for president?

Mr. Edwards.. PLEASE before you endorse Obama, PLEASE look at his track record helping to reform the corrupt politics in IL...

Well actually, Mr. Edwards, you won't find any track record.. Obama consistently support the old boys over reform candidates... Why is that wondering minds inquire?

What do you think about an Obama/Richardson ticket? Richardson has a very impressive resume as a former Congressman, Secretary of Energy, UN Ambassador, Governor and international negotiator. His Hispanic heritage would certainly help with this important population.

Obama/Edwards sounds pretty unbeatable. Richardson would make a great Sect'y of State.

Obama/Biden!!!! a truly magic combo

Edwards -- AG or Katrina Czar

Sen. Clinton -- Senate Majority Leader or Supreme Court

As much as I like Biden, you just never know what he's going to say--he seems like a real verbal time bomb.

Jim Webb's name has floated. He'd be a hell of a campaigner--remember his response to the state of the union. All the military credibility you could ask for, and could make a big difference in Virginia.

Obama doesn't need help in California--there's no way that state goes for McCain.

Obama/Powell this will knock McCain out for good. It would also shut up alot of the GOP wing nuts. Also Edwards needs to be Att Gen. so he can take out big oil and heath ins companies

Richardson is going to be on anyone's short list. Great resume and a truly likable guy. Just not a great candidate - which really surprised me. But still a help in the Southwest not much of a minus anywhere else.

Has anyone thought that the reason Edwards hasn't agreed to back Obama is because he realizes that Obama ha not won the states he needs to win to show himself competitive to the Rebuplicans in the GE? Edwards doesn't want to loose again.... He's going to be with CLINTON any day now....

You don't become Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff if you're "in the military to collect a retirement check". He didn't quit cause the going got rough, he couldn't take the lies.

Along with Richardson in the Southwest, how about Janet Napolitano? I'm not from the part of the country, but I've never heard anything bad about her, and it seems as though she's pretty widely respected.

I'm still thinking Mark Warner.

I suppose someone has to say it - I'm not sure Obama would pick another African-American. Though Powell would be a dramatic choice, for all sorts of reasons, I'm guessing it probably won't happen, also for all sorts of reasons.

The idea of a Republican on a unity ticket is intriguing. How about Christine Todd Whitman or Chuck Hagel?

Obama should remind John Edwards of his rallying cry in 2004: "Hope is on the way".

Great choices abound! An Obama administration will likely not limit themselves to the obvious ones.

Obama should be mindful that a VP candidate that is significantly older (even one with exceptional credentials) juxtaposed to him may draw attention to Obama's relative youth, and allow the GOP to lead a debate of distraction... a debate on "inexperience" rather than on substance & issues. I hope I am wrong.

As far as possibles: Lee Hamilton, as Sec of State? Edwards would be a fine AG. Richardson would be a welcome relief in almost any position (though maybe not so much as VP) that allows him to interact with the public and media. He could put an approachable, sensible "face" on any administration. And Hillary Clinton could do quite well in a Cabinet position or Sec of State.

It's all good.

Paul, I think you're right. I also think for a similar reason, he won't pick Richardson. Most likely to be a white-male...although Kathleen Sebelius is a possibility. I'm an Obama supporter, at least I have been since Biden dropped out. I think Biden would make the perfect compliment VP...although I can see the negative in taking 2 Dem Senators out of Congress...however I'd imagine Dems would be favored to take both spots back.

I would vote for Obama/Edwards in a heartbeat because of Edwards.

Obama/Edwards does seem a bit like putting the cart before the horse. Edwards /Obama would have been much stronger and well balanced. It also would have enabled Obama to get some much needed experience to add to his glowing oratory.

Wesley Clark is backing Hillary so forget that ticket...

She probably told him he would be her Secretary of Defense...

Obama has no chance to be nominated. His game will be over soon.

Obama/whoever =loser

Some people really have time on their hands... lol

Common people we all barely jumped on the ride... It will be very presumptuos of Dems to be thinking that they will win come Nov.

So far Obama has not failed to deliver, so I think his choice for VP will be a refreshing one even though Obama/Edwards or Obama/Clark are very tempting as optons...

I am die-heart democrat and i will never ever vote for Barack Hussein Obama. By the way he will not nominated, people started know him slowly, it is unfortunate media hide his dirty laundry but now its coming out.

...one last thing. I would like to remind EVERYONE that we no longer live in an isolationist bubble. We live during the era of Globalization. We often don't pay attention, as Americans, to the way the rest of the world views us nor do we give attention to their reaction towards our leadership role in the world because most Americans do not travel outside of the U.S. (or even have a passport!) nor do they tune into world news (such as BBC World News). In response to this posting:
"Obama should be mindful that a VP candidate that is significantly older (even one with exceptional credentials) juxtaposed to him may draw attention to Obama's relative youth, and allow the GOP to lead a debate of distraction... a debate on "inexperience" rather than on substance & issues."
The rest of the world cares very little about this very myopic, election season, purely "strategic" viewpoint, (and it makes little sense because a ticket is a ticket regardless of who is the president). The "World" would most likely welcome a young, unifying leader, and by choosing a candidate of color, “We the People” can attempt to reverse the current downward spiral caused by the Bush administration and show that one of the greatest errors of the American legacy -- that being the treatment of African-Americans (the second: the treatment of Native Americans) -- is finally starting to be overcome. We need to do some serious reputation rebuilding and came back from these disastrous eight years a stronger, hopefully less racist (although judging from some postings all over the blogosphere -- we have a long way to go!) more unified country with a thoughtful and courageous young leader who has the support of politicians of all ages and ethnicities.
Next time around: a woman (just hopefully not one who has been such a divisive figure on the American political landscape for so many years -- albeit an intelligent and accomplished one).
If Obama wins the election -- Clinton should pursued Clark to run with him because it will be good for their party and good for the country; if they are really serious about challenging John McCain in November, I think Clark is their man for V.P. – a Moderate/Centrist with an impressive military background and a unifying presence.

It is may and Obama has all but wrapped up the democratic nomination. He has shown some weakness with the white working class and senior voters. John Edwards is a clear choice to rectify that weakness and strengthen the democratic ticket. He has strong followings by both labor and senior voters. In a year where the election is going to be about the economy and war, Edwards is a great choice for VP!

It will be a ticket of Obama/Edwards and they will kill McCain in the November General Election.
