Edwards isn't positioning himself for sh!t. The political prospects for candidates who lose in presidential elections is bad enough . . . losing VP candidates, on the other hand, always vanish from the political scene very quickly. I give it 90 days, and nobody will even remember who the hell John Edwards was.

Isn't John Edwards the guy that talks to dead people on tv?

You are incorrect.

Historically, losing VP candidates very often ascend to the front-runner status for the next election cycle.

Muskie in 72 (was losing VP candidate in 68)
Lodge in 64 (was losing VP candidate in 60)
Mondale in 84 (was losing VP candidate in 80)
Dole in 80 (was losing VP candidate in 76)
