A great reason to vote against Obama
If you are not already asleep, noodle around this nightmare scenario:
Silky v1.0: Ambulance chaser. Silky v2.0: Al Qaeda chaser. Bob Novak says he and Obama struck a deal to make him AG in return for Edwards sticking around, stockpiling whatever delegates he can, and then handing them to the Messiah at the convention on the off chance that no one has a majority.
A tort lawyer as attorney general. Why even bother to conduct business under such circumstances?
There are many ways to categorize American voters. Pundits divide them by race, gender, income, geography, religion, and relative willingness to eat "challenging" sushi. Rarely, if ever, does the mainstream media recognize that all voters are either potential plaintiffs (most people) or potential defendants. The small but exceedingly important segment of the population that includes executives, corporate directors, doctors, dentists, architects, small business entrepreneurs, builders, and the proprietors of taverns all fall into the latter category; their's are the principal pockets from which enraged putative victims hope to extract recompense. If this story is true -- and it is a bit hard to believe, by my reckoning -- only self-hating members of the defendant class will support Obama. He should disavow the rumor right now.

Well, that is a pisser, but is it any worse than McCain's choice (so says Michelle) for DHS Secretary

Remember the fable about the scorpion and the frog, TH. You're going to regret shilling for Hillary.

They're all scorpions, DEC. It's just that Hawk considers Edwards an especially vile species.
If the convention is hung, I bet that Edwards will go with whomever offers him the best deal.
