Have Obama and Edwards ever hinted at who they might consider for running mates?

[Fridays Child]

Would either man offer the position to a woman?

[tired_old_fireman]

1. I'm pretty sure Edwards hinted that he liked Obama

[JDPriestly]

6. Yes, but I don't think Edwards would run as anyone's VP.

He got burned too badly last time. He is running his campaign strictly as his own man. I don't think he even follows the advice of his advisers if his instincts tell him not to.

[Fridays Child]

9. I agree. He's not likely to accept the number two spot on a ticket.

[ChoralScholar]

12. However, there may come a time

when the choice will be, 1.) Take a spot as Veep, or 2.) Go Home.

[JDPriestly]

7. It might have been on Charlie Rose, but some TV interviewer

asked Edwards whose candidate Edwards' supporters would most likely move to if Edwards did not get 5%. Edwards said he thought most would go to Obama.

2. When Obama was on the David Letterman show,

Letterman asked him about the idea of sharing the ticket with Hillary Clinton. His reply: "In which order?" (huge applause from audience)

[babylonsister]

3. NOT Clinton imo. But who cares? If it's not the right woman... nt

[Fridays Child]

10. I'm not thinking Clinton, either. But, off the top of my head, I'm having trouble...

...coming up with a woman who would energize an Obama or Edwards ticket. Surely, there are some female politicians who would be great for the VP position.

4. I really don't want her as No. 2, but I'm sure the winning candidate would love

to have access to her very extensive campaign war chest.

[maximusveritas]

5. Edwards would probably go with Obama

Not sure about the reverse. I don't think Edwards wants to be a VP candidate again.

[BearSquirrel2]

8. Neither does Hillary

And I don't think Hillary wants to be an unofficial VP again.

[insane_cratic_gal]

11. I think Hillary would make a great vp

But I don't see Edwards offering her the position (and I'm voting for him! but I think they are too different)

I could see Obama doing it though, I think their cloth is similar as were their messages and styles.

[Connonym]

13. I still hold hope for Russ Feingold in some administration

[Fridays Child]

14. Russ would be a credit to any Dem ticket!

[Blue-Jay]

15. I can support that statement.

[ncliberal]

16. Yes!

My dream ticket is Edwards/Feingold.

[bklyncowgirl]

17. If they have they're not going to tell you--It's all part of the theater.

We'll know who the nominee will be probably in February. The next ooooohhhhh, who will it be guessing game, will be the choice of running mate. That should take up a great deal of speculation on the part of TV and keyboard pundits alike.

[TheWebHead]

18. bayh is the leading cadidate for vp on intrade

though I think the assumption would be he would be hillary's vp.. not sure obama would pick him but strategically it would be a good bet for him, even though he's not very well liked at du.
