Obama with Edwards on the ticket as VP might actually have a fucking chance.

Not really though.

Why is this such big news. It seems only rational to back Obama at this point.

he should have waited till after Puerto Rico where she gets 3.8 million of the 4 million votes there and everyone has to explain what to do when she has a 2 million lead on the popular vote.

If Obama does not pick Richardson as his VP, then he deserves to lose. Obama should just give Richardson the top slot on the ticket and be Richardson's VP.

Richardson really is the obvious and only choice unless RIchardson turns it down for some reason.

lol at winning 3.8 million votes...they cannot even vote in the general.

Might as well allow people from China to vote in the Democratic Primary

it is the Democratic party, you have to let them do their thing, aka go out of their way to lose every election.

THey really should just kidnap some Republican strategists to teach them how to win elections.

Originally I didnt think a Edwards backing would help Obama that much. I now have a change of opinion for two reasons...

1) Edwards has stepped up his bravado and seemed to speak with more authority.

2) His support came during a huge rally in Michigan with lots of coverage and headlines and did exactly what it was meant to do. Take Hillarys thunder after her WV win.

It's debatable whether or not VP's bring in any significant number of votes let alone states.

I don't think the selection of elitist like Edwards is going to win any voters Obama doesn't already have.

Edwards was the VP candidate in 2004 and his accent didn't help much then.
