John Edwards to endorse Obama. Possible VP running mate?
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008The political blogosphere is anticipating John Edward’s endorsement of Barak Obama. Despite Edward’s earlier statement indicating that he was not interested in being a VP candidate, pundits are now making a compelling case for Edward’s as Obama’s VP running mate. Read about it here.
Having Edwards as a ‘mate could be a shrewd move by Obama, who has been struggling with the dumb redneck vote. In addition, in early contest canvassing, Edwards was routinely shown to be the most electable candidate in the Democratic field.
We wrote earlier about the Moderate Liberal Dream Ticket being Edwards/Obama. Either way you slice, it would still be a great ticket.
Presumably, Edward’s endorsement will come with the 18 delegates he earned in IA and NH, inching Obama that must closer to the magic number of delegates necessary to clinch the nomination.
It’s about time, John! Welcome back.
