Why would a candidate for president, who's quiting the race, NOT endorse one of the ones left??
You toss your delegates to them and some/most of your supporters. At this point in the race you must have figured out who is the best (assuming it ain't you).
Edwards is bowing out but not endorsing anyone "yet"

Unless he is negotiating fora possible VP slot
AG is the rumor going around. They all negotiate something for their trouble. Has Rudy asked for the AG as well?
Wouldn't it be interested if Hillary choose Bill for the VP slot?

Would that be Constitutional? What would happen if, God forbid, she ceased using up our oxygen? Bill couldn't serve as President because he's already served two terms. So it would then get kicked to Pelosi. Oh the humanity!!!
I find some of the scenarios you guys are throwing out here really funny! For the life of me I can't imagine either Hillary or Obama giving Edwards the VP spot. He had it in 2004 and was on the losing end, so why would either one pick him again? And there is absolutely NO way that Hillary would pick Bill for the VP job, be it constitutional or not. This would be a turn off for many voters, and she would surely lose by an even wider margin than she most likely will anyway if she is the nominee.

Actually (this subject came up in one of my classes one time) I'm sure this would be a heck of a court battle. The Amendment actually says "no person shall be ELECTED more than twice" so there's a pretty good argument that he would be able to serve again.......Definitely better than the alternative though

You are correct Shep. There isn't anything stopping her from running with Bill. In some ways it frees him to continue to be her mouth piece. She certainly isn't capable on her own to speak up. The court case would only be triggered should she die in office with over 2 years left. If under two years it's legal from what I learned years ago.
Steve while I do agree with you about the turn off with the voters however, she will already turn off a lot of voters and I believe no more if she picked Bill. Like I already said, he would become part of the campaign with a license to speak. Don't worry it won't happen. They need to find an Al Gore type who sits in the corner and isn't heard from again.

One reason could be that he never got too much on either's side during the back and forth bickering they've done. Another reason we should care about is that he's the most hunting friendly (and experienced) of the group and that would play well for the ticket. The fact that he was on the losing ticket in 04 may not play much role, as no war-time incumbent has ever been beaten, so that may take an edge of that off.
