If Edwards doesn’t get the VP nomination, it’s going to be pretty hard for him to remain a political figure. He won one senate term, and that’s it.
He’d have a tough time remaining in the public spotlight to give it another shot in four or eight years.
I think he will not be the VP nominee. He is taking a long shot. I can't see either Obama or Hillary wining enough delegates to get the nomination before the convention.
I can't imagine the super delegates letting the silk pony get away with using his delegates to get the VP nomination.
I think Obama knows this as well. That is why the Pony did not get a deal with Obama. I think Obama offered the Pony a deal, but the Pony turned it down. He may have offered him something like secretary of the interior and the pony was not going for that.
I think the pony will soon be practicing law again.
