  •  NC in 2004 (2+ / 0-)

    ...I wonder if as VP he might help in NC in 2008. Obama is much more competitive in NC than Kerry was... maybe Edwards should be VP and can get camped out in the upper south -- Virginia, North Carolina, and Missouri... and maybe rust belt regions as well.

    The day may come, when the rest of the animal creation may acquire those rights which never could have been withholden from them but by the hand of tyranny.

      as being VP.  Sorry.  IMHO, he does not give Obama either the demographics or the "experienced gravitas" meme that would help him.

      I meant that if he did endorse, it could play big in the WV primary on Tuesday and then the KY primary. But now that I watch the tape, I see he did not endorse, so that's that -- worthless.

      In this case, most rural whites in WV and KY originally supported Edwards. They flipped to Clinton when Edwards dropped out. They need that validation from a white man they respect before going to Barack Obama, sorry to say. Much more important than in NC in 2004 when race was not at all an issue.
