Edwards won't accept VP nod

Former Democrat presidential hopeful John Edwards has reiterated his claim today that he will not accept the vice presidential nomination, provided either Obama or Clinton would offer it which would be unlikely. Edwards would bring little to the either ticket. Edwards failed to win any southern states for John Kerry in 2004 and is perceived as a lightweight when it comes to policy. He lacks "gravitas". Edwards probable role will be to team up with former Vice President Al Gore, former President Jimmy Carter, Speak of the House Pelosi, and DNC Chairman Howard Dean to finally retire Hillary Clinton after the last Democrat primary on 3 June. It's mathematically unlikely at this point that Clinton can win the nomination without ruining the party by forcing the seating of the Florida and Michigan delegations and lobbying for superdelegates to vote for her despite losing both the delegate count and popular vote to Obama . Edwards would further his image and increase his credibility as a future candidate if he can act as an "honest broker" before the Democrat convention by helping the Clintons realize their quest for a third term in the White House is over.
