I dont think Edwards' endorsement will do much for Obama in the long run....endorsement rarely do.

Obama still will need to personally make his case to those Democratic (and Indendent) blue collar white voters and seniors who have reservations. And he will need to do it in terms they can relate to, with specifics, and not just the theme of "change."

He has plenty of time to do just that before November and I suspect he will make a strong case for himself, possibly with Edwards by his side in some states, and other well known supporters with him in other states.

But I would be shocked if he would seriously consider Edwards for VP.

My money for VP is still on an older white guy..with either a strong military/foreign policy background (Wes Clark) or a governor with executive experience.
