Senator Edwards, please run for president and allow us North Carolinians to elect a senator who will truly look after the needs of the Tarheel State North Carolina allows one to simultaneously run for Senate and President (or VP). So Edwards could basically pull a Lieberman - lose the national race, but keep his Senate seat (were he to be reelected to the latter, or course).
True, but I think this will work against Senator Edward's re-election bid to the Senate. Senator Edwards is not very popular with North Carolinians as it is.
