John Edwards – Always the bridesmaid never the bride
The Obama team is reportedly weighing Nunn and Edwards as his running mates .
Details are emerging that members of the Black and Hispanic Congressional caucuses are floating former Senator and Presidential candidate John Edwards name as a prospective running mate to Barack Obama.
I have mixed feeling about it. I absolutely love John Edwards as a person and his hard work in bringing up the issues of poverty and healthcare to the forefront during his presidential campaigns, but I highly doubt that Edwards will add any strength to the joint ticket either in terms of experience or electability. For some reason John Edwards is possibly the most likeable guy but nobody votes for him. He barely won his home state in 2004 and lost it this time.
I don’t think Edwards is going to help Obama, get the White blue collar vote.

About
Welcome to my blog, a result of the 2008 Presidential election. Never have I been so involved in politics and learnt so much about myself and others, as I have during this campaign. I think there are no conservatives or liberals in the real world. They only exist on TV and radio.
I am a moderate and independent. I don’t believe that anything in this world is black and white. We are just not afforded the luxury of simplicity as everything lies somewhere in that grey area. There is some good and some evil, everything else is in the middle.
Therefore, I am for limited use of capital punishment, and for a women’s right to choose.
I am for those so called enhanced interrogation techniques, but not for legalizing then. I believe if their is truly that scenario of a ticking bomb, hey by all means.
I believe human behaviour is responsible for climate change. I am not sure that Global warming is the only result of it though, as I think it is too narrow a term to encompass everything we are doing to the environment.
I am a fiscal conservative and thereby for smaller government and fewer entitlements but do believe we need to pay our fair share of taxes, I just don’t want to see my taxes wasted by the government.
I am for open borders all across the world. If you are for free trade and a global economy and against immigration you are only avoiding the inevitable.
There are things you make agree with this on this blog and things you may not. If you agree great drop me a line, if you don’t, feel free to drop me a line and tell me why. I will give you a chance to change my mind or you can give me a chance to change yours.
Happy Reading and have fun.
