I'm not sure whether Edwards would turn it down or not. It probably depends on how he assesses Kerry's odds of winning. If he runs with Kerry and Kerry loses, he would be the Joe Lieberman of 2008, probably battling it out with Hillary. Clark, Dean, Gephardt, etc. wouldn't be contenders then. I don't know who else would emerge in the Democratic field. Having lost on the Kerry ticket after he barely carried his own state in the primaries this time, and having been out of public office for several years, I don't know what kind of showing he'd make in '08. Hillary would still have retained high visibility. If he thinks Kerry will win, he'd probably accept the VP slot because he's young enough to have a go at it in 2012, which would be his next real opportunity, whether or not Kerry was re-elected in '08. Who knows what the situation will be by then. The Hillary factor will have diminished by then (due to age), which is a good thing for him. Just my 2 centavos.
