#1 Considering Nancy's part in the Congressional polls, I'd move Chet to the top of the list, O.

#2 BO could make a lot of worse choices. Assuming BO would win anyway, I wouldn't mind seeing Edwards as VP. Like Cheney, he'd be a lot better qualified for President than the one elected. I don't know anything about his ethical 'lapses' but figure they're comparable to most successful politicians'. The fact that Pelosi is for him is unnerving though.

#3 Pelosi's pimping-out of Chet Edwards is causing the lefties an intramural debate over this guy.

#4 I've never heard of him. I suspect most people would get confused and think that John Edwards was back on the ticket.

#5 I've never heard of him. I suspect most people would get confused and think that John Edwards was back on the ticket.

Maybe they'd already had a bunch of bumper stickers made up when the first Edwards' indiscretions caught up with him and now they have to recycle them by finding a different candidate with the same name.

#6 The politicians are teasing us anyway. They keep saying they'll get a Texan to run, and year after year they get someone who isn't Kinky.

#7 If Bush would pardon Edwin Edwards maybe he could be put on the ticket - he's living in Texas, last I knew. And he even has executive experience!

#8 Well, Fast Eddie is kinky, but he wasn't the Kinky I was thinking of, sorry.

#9 Makes you wonder who's going to be pulling the strings in any Obama presidency. Doubt it'd be Obama.

#10 Pelosi pushes Texas lawmaker as Obama running mate

Sheila Jackson Lee immediately came to mind.

#11 Obama, I'd say do it - Pelosi has been right on SO many things, yes?
