Edwards for Attorney General? FTC Chairman?
If Edwards doesn't get the nomination, I would think he would be a GREAT AG or Federal Trade Commission Chairman.

And Richardson as Secretary of State.

And Kucinich as Secretary of Complaints. :-)

2. If we do not vote Edwards into the W.H. they the "status quo"
will not invite him in. So if John Edwards is the voice that makes the most sense for you in these lawess times, better get working.

6. Correct, If he isn't elected, he will not get a seat at the table
The corporate candidates will not give an anti corporate candidate a position.

We need to get him in the White House no question about it.

4. Edwards for president. Obama & Clinton can stay in the Senate.

5. John Edwards for PRESIDENT.
Face it, it's the only chance we have at real, meaningful change. The other candidates are all coporate candidates (follow the money...) and they will not be in a position to bring about the change we need, because they are indebted to the same factors George Bush has been indebted to.

Follow the money, check the facts. Edwards is the one we need in the White House, plus he's the ONLY Dem candidate to consistently beat EVERY Republican in the general election polls, and this goes back more than six months.

10. Their only saying the status quo wants him to just disappear.
If he even gets close the the nomination he will probably expose half of those frauds for their hypocrisies doing so.
It would mean a whole new game in town and a lot of them are afraid that they can't do business that way.
Their corporate backers are all ready threatening them. Hell the damn Chamber of Commerce has come out publicly with threats.
That alone should have made every other Democrat say that " we will not be intimidated, no matter how much money you threaten to spend smearing a candidate who's for economic justice". But as usual they know it was directed toward Edwards so they said nothing.
So until Edwards and his ideas are excepted it's not likely they would playball. That is why I think he needs to be in the top position because that forces them to give.

11. Yeah very negative responses lol
I'm afraid they're right though. Is there any way we can pressure Hil or Obama into appointing him somewhere if they're elected? I don't really think so. =/

12. I for one think it is not only a good idea but very realistic
He would make a fine AG and he could stay active in his cause..
