The Miami Herald is also quite capable of running a story describing Obama as a "father raper; repeat the story enough and it will earn traction with some voters.

Edwards in my opinion would make a better Attorney General for Obama than a Vice-Presidential running mate. Edwards just doesn't have the international resume or executive experience that, say, Richardson would bring to the ticket.

I also think it naive at this point to assume the Republicans have not scoped out an attack campaign against an Obama Presidential run. I do agree that they would prefer to run against Hillary Clinton but Obama under closer scruntiny may have his own vulnerbilities.
