I was originally for Edwards--ever since Kerry picked him--til about last fall-- with Obama as VP. His "Two Americas" theme rings true. But there's no question now which way the ticket has to go--and Edwards as VP would be excellent.

Edwards at this point just doesn't have the firepower, money, and especially the army of inspired followers. As I've said before, I just wish that after New Hampshire, Edwards had volunteered to be Obama's VP. They could have just about knocked Hillary out by now.

Read a very interesting article recently, however, speculating that Edwards now is angling to be kingmaker at the convention, which he will almost certainly be if he gets 350 delegates. At that point, if he gets that many, he would, I strongly suspect, throw his support to Obama, sensing among other things that he is making history, rather than selling out to the old bitter partisanship with Hillary.

Obviously, we'll see. And that would hinge on his delegate count. As for his being a compromise candidate after several ballots--not likely.
