I don't think it is Attorney General though. Most likely SEI. He is more qualified for that position. Of course there is a job waiting for him once he throws his support behind Obama.

Edwards can't throw his support behind Clinton, but he could support no one. I am excited about the AG idea though. I don't think Edwards did a great job as VP candidate last time, but I love his message this time around. He can do more as AG during this administration than sitting at the bottom of the ticket and 'waiting his turn'. I think James is absolutely right.

I think it would be seen as a vote for the establishment and would alienate two important voting blocks in the democratic party, the youth and the black vote. Personally, I do not think, especially based on media coverage over the last few days, that the youth would react well to this scenario. I really think either Hillary needs to win this contest convincingly, or Edwards needs to push Obama over the top.
