Im with you on this one. Hillary is and can be a snake but shes up front about it. Shes not lurking in the shadows, shes smart and when I say smart,,,shes real smart. She is a mom so thats a plus, Im sure she has a compassionate kind side. Personally I like her and yes it would definately be an unbeatable ticket..that is if the nazis in power didnt pull a stunt.

If it is Chet Edwards, that's a good strategy, though I really would prefer Biden:

www.huffingtonpost.com...

He is a nationally recognized veterans champion in Congress, with strong military support in deep connections in the U.S. Army and at the Pentagon. Just this year, he's been honored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion. And as chair of the House Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Subcommittee, he just authorized the largest increase in veterans' funding in the history of the VA.

Edwards is fresh face who won't overshadow Obama. He's a southern, moderate, white male in his late 50s who brings geographic and demographic balance to the ticket. He has humble blue collar roots, and has been known to speak Spanish from time to time.

Chet Edwards is a pretty darn good campaigner, with a record of winning in Republican turf. But in spite of (or perhaps because of) his broad appeal to Democrats as well as Republicans and Independents, he is well respected on Capitol Hill - with a wide range of support among liberals and conservatives. (An example: Congressman John Lewis, a liberal African American from Atlanta who fought beside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, has been known to campaign with Edwards in Central Texas).

Although it may make sense on the domestic front, this pick, if accurate, does nothing to bolster Obama in the area of foreign relations. His cabinet picks would have to be great. Biden, Clark, Richardson...

Who is your source? How do we know you're reliable?

Would you be willing to bet your account on that?

From your quote, Chet seems like a great middle man, which we could really use.

I said my source was a friend of a friend. They claim the source is inside MSNBC. I'll bet my account if I need to . I believed that bigfoot was real too so take it with a grain of salt. I am just passing on the information and trying to be the first to do it. If you want further validation I can contact the GFL. This is all I got right now.

on a side note, on another blog, someone said that Obama already had the "Obama/Edwards" signs made up and when Johny messed up, he had to find another Edwards.

If I get it right what do I win?

According to this blog,

...US Senator Evan Bayh from Indiana will be the Vice President choice of Obama. Senator Bayh would give Obama Indiana's Electoral College votes which normally would be counted in the Republican camp.

The blogger is the same one that falsely announced a US Naval Armada build-up in the Persian Gulf a couple of weeks back. So, take this for whatever its worth to you. In his defense, his blog is well-written and seemingly well-researched. And he seems to have bought a Scottish Barony [and has one for sale!]. *cough*

And then there's this:

www.kmbc.com...#-

After weeks of speculation and days of intense rumors, the answer to who Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama would name as his running mate may have come down to a bumper sticker printed in Lenexa.

KMBC's Micheal Mahoney reported that the company, which specializes in political literature, has been printing Obama-Bayh material. That's Bayh as in U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana. Word leaked out about the material as it was being printed up by Gill Studios of Lenexa. The Obama campaign had said it would make the announcement by text message on Friday.
Gill Studios, would not confirm information about the material. They would not deny it either. The company president would not comment when asked by Mahoney about the reports. But at least three sources close to the plant's operations reported the Obama-Bayh material was being produced.

IMO, this would be the least electable combination.
