Is Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama possible?
I don't know. I am asking.

1. First one no

Second one would make me very happy. Edit to add: I don't think Obama would do it though.

2. No to the first, maybe but unlikely to the second.
If you study their platforms, they aren't really on the same page on many issues. Obama would have to shift his positions on a number of issues and that always leads to the GOP pointing and squawking.

4. Obama, the party leaders, and Edwards likely wouldn't go with Obama/Edwards.
Edwards has been on that end of the ticket already.

Not an ego thing. A strategy thing.

Edwards/Obama is possible.

7. JMO combo # 2 is the best chance to win big in November.

8. Obama - Edwards would make sense.
Edited on Fri Jan-04-08 09:15 PM by Radical Activist
They both have similar outlooks and messages that compliment each other much better than Kerry - Edwards did. And Obama wouldn't have to silence Edwards in fear of being out-shined like Kerry did. A populist Midwestern-Southern ticket is a powerful combo.

9. Either would be fine in my opinion.
Obama/Edwards would be great in that we would still have a firebrand populist in Edwards to help negate Obama's corporatism.

Edwards/Obama would help give us a large voter base and help negate people's perceptions about Obama's inexperience.
