Missed this for the Daily Buzz, but John Edwards saying that he would "seriously consider" a VP offer from merits its own post.

From CNN:

"My answer to that is, I've run for vice president, I've run for president twice. I would do anything that I felt I could do to serve this country but I think it's a huge presumption for me or anybody else to suggest what Senator Obama may decide," he said.

"To answer your question directly: I don't expect to be asked, have no expectation about it at all, I will - anything that Senator Obama asks me to do, including this, including campaigning for him, I intend to do, because what I'm going to do, I intend to take seriously," he added. "What I intend to do is everything in my power, use everything in my power to make sure that he's the next president."

Pressed on whether that meant he might join the ticket if asked, Edwards would not rule it out. "I am prepared to seriously consider anything, anything he asks me to do for our country," he told NPR.

I might be going out on a limb here, but I wouldn't put money on an Obama/Edwards ticket. There's the small issue of Edwards having already performed that role once, to less than successful results. Beyond that, there's the issue of the politician Edwards morphed into between 2004 and 2007.

If Edwards were still the left-of-center candidate he was back in the '04 campaign, then the odds get better. But Edwards turned sharply left for the '08 campaign, attempting to pick up the leftovers of the Deaniacs. For a time there last year, both Obama and Clinton were taking cues from Edwards' leftward shift -- from the Fox News boycott to health care. (In fact the irony of Edwards' 08 campaign is that while he managed to control the debate on the trail, he couldn't translate that into votes.)

Of course where that put Edwards was to the left of Obama and Clinton. He could shift again, but with so many recent quotes for the GOP to use it would have an easy time painting the two of them as the most liberal ticket in a generation.
