A truly frightening thought
It's been comforting that John Edwards' demagoguery has not generated the type of buzz and political support that would make him a top contender for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination. However, this Robert Novak/Rasmussen blurb ended my sense of comfort:
Illinois Democrats close to Sen. Barack Obama are quietly passing the word that John Edwards will be named attorney general in an Obama administration.Installation at the Justice Department of multimillionaire trial lawyer Edwards would please not only the union leaders supporting him for president but organized labor in general. The unions relish the prospect of an unequivocal labor partisan as the nation's top legal officer.
What would an anti-business demagogue be like as attorney general? Here's a preview (another one here). That's not the way to encourage risk-taking for job and wealth creation.

The Iowa Edwards supporters say a deal has been struck that puts Edwards on the ticket as a Veep with Obama.
