Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama
I really don't care. Either ticket would be a godsend (and this is coming from an atheist.)

Rove's strategy of divide and conquer tore this country apart. I hate to imagine what four more years of divisiveness would bring.

This country needs healing as much as it needs change. I am tired of the hate and the fear-mongering...it's why I had to take some time away from the political scene.

I'm not ashamed to say I want the United States to be the UNITED States, but if you are happy with the red-state/blue-state mentality than by all means vote for Hillary.

The Bush administration has turned this country into something unimaginable. The way I see it, an Obama/Edwards/Obama ticket is our chance to repair the damage done, restore our reputation and make this country a place to be proud of once again.

4. Why of course! Obama can be VP in charge of speechmaking. That's
pretty much what he does best. The only problem is that you can't miss one of Barrie's speeches because then you'll lose track of which side of the issue he's taking at that particular time.

5. Most Wanted: Edwards/Obama - Most Likely: Obama/Edwards
If Obama wins NH, SC and beyond.. and even if Edwards takes 2nd again.. i'm not sure how he conquers the Obama momentum. I have no clue who Obama would pick for VP.. but the most likely scenario if Edwards is on a ticket right now would have to be as VP.

But, I will say - that would be a great ticket i'd be very happy to vote for!

6. No to Obama/Edwards. Obama has more experience in elected office
than Edwards, and more foreign policy experience. Edwards could not deliver for Kerry, and he won't help pull in Indies and Repubs either. Obama needs someone a little older, more of a heavyweight in military/foreign policy/economic issues--Edwards is a lightweight in just about every area.

8. Edwards/Obama would be our best chance.
Imagine the two agents of change talking about cleaning up Washington, and ending the corporate power and corporate greed that has corrupted and rigged our system against the interests of the middle class and those living in poverty who want a chance to be lifted up.

Neither has taken a dime from Washington lobbyists or special interest PAC's, so they're powerful message of change would stick. They both are VERY talented speakers who inspire, send hope to people, and provide optimism that things can change in this country.

Both are not career politicians so they'll be able to say they'll shake up Washington, and people will listen. It'll be like when Clinton-Gore came to town in 1992. They were young, fresh, exciting, and provided hope to the American people.

17. Yeah, that's it
He hasn't done a damn thing in the streets of Chicago, in the Illinois Senate, or the US Senate, but sit there and hope. Get a grip.

20. Well, when you steal your platform ideas from the other.. who's the
leader and who's the follower... (this is kinda catty)... I feel like Obama is this fad... like a favorite rock group or a famous star... I don't think he has thought out policy enough... and I don't want compromise.. we can't have it.. things have gone so far wrong... that its going to be a battle to get it right.

19. Now, obviously I would prefer Obama, but...
I like Edwards pretty well and would be excited about a ticket that contained these two. I think the NH debate has set the stage for these two to team up down the line, if one of them should get the nomination.
