Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama prepared to name his running mate, perhaps as early as Friday, from a small field o0f candidates that included at least one dark horse.

When my brother was sent to Iraq a few years ago, Chet Edwards spoke at both the deployment of his unit (in Waco) and when the unit returned a year later or so. I remember being impressed with him, then being disappointed to learn he had a “D” after his name.
Don’t think an unknown VP is going to help Obama’s downhill slide though—2 unknowns in the White House, in this day and age of global tension? Nope. Not gonna happen.
You’re thinking of the great guitar pickin’ Chet Atkins, not Edwards, LOL. ;-)
Aww, my mistake.
Chet Edward, John Edwards, it’s all the same. How many Dems are not going to know the difference and just decide to stay home rather than vote for that guy they read about in the National Enquirer? The good news just keeps rolling in.
loved him. "Because They're Young" one of his best.
My Grandmother is in Edwards’ district. She hates him and will be glad to see him go.
Interestingly, he seems to out shine Repubs in strong GOP districts.

Chet who?
The empty suit needs to pick a no-namer to keep himself the headliner.
They didn’t want to increase their carbon footprint by printing millions more bumper stickers, so he chose someone with the same name.
“Today is the day, this moment is the moment, when the oceans rise began to slow! In name of the Earth, I am reducing my carbon footprint by choosing a VP nominee who’s name is already on millions of bumper stickers!
Hold on now, hold on. You heard me right. I’m putting my money where my mouth is. I am choosing a VP to run with me...for many reasons...but the main one is to lower my own carbon footprint. Millions of buttons and bumper stickers and posters already bear the Obama / Edwards ‘08 banner. Nothing new will need to be created. We expect, and I have talked to many experts, that simply by making this one choice, we will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1%.
You see, others may talk the talk but I am walking the walk. Wait...did someone over there just faint? Can we get some help for her?”
I’m joking but I bet - I BET - some looney lefty will say something just like that in seriousness.
Well, he is enough of a souless monster to fit on the ticket.
OBAMA/EDWARDS....LOL.
LOL!
You said “ inexperienced “ I just pointed out that he’s been in congress since 1991, so he’s not inexperienced.
Well. He doesn’t actually sound that awful. As Democrats go, I mean. I wouldn’t LIKE any Democrat he picked, but this guy sounds less objectionable than most.
Maybe it’ll prompt McCain to choose a conservative running mate for himself. That would be good.
I saw a comment on this thread claiming that Democrats won't be able to distinguish John Edwards from Chet Edwards. How true!
I haven't read through all of the comments yet, but here is a rundown on Chet Edwards' positions.
Here is a map of his district. It astounds me that he continues to get elected, considering that the primary towns in his district are homes to my two alma maters: Baylor University in Waco and Texas A&M University in College Station. On the other hand, his district is full of the dwindling number of people in Texas who vote for Democrats -- not because they agree with them on the issues but because stories of Republican Reconstruction after the Civil War are still passed down from generation to generation.
ROFL!!!
This is a joke about to happen if Edwards is the guy.
Obambi is due to announce any minute here in Chicago.
Please let it be this "no-name".....or rather, we should call him "the guy with the Name of Death".

They're all so racist and sexist, they hated both hillary and Obama! [I can say this, 'cause I know it to be true [they proudly say so!] and I love them anyway...Well, I love most of them, anyway. ;^)]
