Momentum Grows For Edwards As Attorney General

Washington Post's The Trail:

That's an idea that has been gaining currency among some of his closest supporters - U.S. trial lawyers who gathered this weekend in Puerto Rico for an annual winter conference.

"I sure would hope there will be a role for him," said Gibson Vance, a Mongtomery, Ala., trial lawyer who has been a longtime friend and supporter of Edwards. "He would be a heck of a tough attorney general. Think about it."

I'm in Florida and today I PROUDLY cast my vote for JOHN EDWARDS.

He is the only REAL DEMOCRAT (fighting for the MIDDLE CLASS and disadvantaged), BANNING the POWERFUL LOBBYISTS from WRITING and SETTING POLICY, and his campaign is being Financed by PUBLIC FUNDING.

As I said, JOHN EDWARDS is the ONLY REAL PRESIDENTIAL Candidate who has EARNED my VOTE.

Go, JOHN, GO - Keep Fighting.

How about the VP.

Edwards out = Hillary the nominee

the attorney general doesn't take on Corporation - or defend unions - you have these positions mixed up with the Commissioner of the SEC and the Department of Labor.

Edwards would be a fine Attorney General. He would be like a pitt bull. Those big company's better watch out. He would be on them like stink on do do.

According to Novak, Obama's campaign heads are pushing Edwards to get out of the race, and turn around and endorse Obama.

Edwards needs to stay in the race until the Rezko trial is over. A lot of dirt will come out of this trial. It again over till it's over. Edwards as a trial lawyer would know this best of all. Obama could be dust in a month. The trial is set for February 25th. Rezko was arrested today.

Noam Chomsky for Secretary of Defense. This is not a joke. There is no better informed master of foreign relations than this man on the face of the earth.

Excuse me, I hate to be so rude but don't the Democrats have to win the election before Edwards gets to be AG? If Obama is the candidate we are going down in flames again, worse than with Kerry.

Novak is claiming on TV that Obama's camp is offering Edwards the attorney general spot if 1) Edwards drops out immediately or 2) gives obama all his delegates in the convention.

After the MSM trashes Clinton, then the alternative Edwards is being a turncoat.

Who is left to represent the worker in America. Back to Clinton - at least 50% of the unions back her. Forge on.

Why do I keep mistaking the Democratic party for Canada? Why can't we be like the Canadians?

Anyone promoting John Edwards for Attorney-general is obviously not helping the cause of John Edwards for President. I suspect that his "closest supporters" would prefer that the speculation would revolve around what kind of president he would make. I don't see John Edwards reporting to Hillary under any circumstances.

No dice! He'd make even a better president.

I would be so shocked and happy if this happened. But I fear he is far too honest for the Power that Be to allow he to do that job.

Especially since the the Bush-chosen heir apparent, Ms. Clinton, will have the Presidency. The fix in.

Edwards As Attorney General is exactly what I've been saying for weeks now!



He would be perfect and the right wing conservative corruption should be very afraid VERY AFRAID!!!

[greymen]

What a fresh idea!

[ProgressiveChange]

Attorney General Edwards --- Great idea. The tandem of Obama and Edwards will drive the corporate crooks out of power.
