This is the best news I've heard in a while:
Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said on Thursday he would not accept the nomination for U.S. vice president as he did four years ago.
On the other hand:
Asked if he would consider Gore for a cabinet position to address global warming, Obama told the crowd at a town hall meeting in Pennsylvania that he would.
"Not only will I, but I will make a commitment that Al Gore will be at the table and play a central part in us figuring out how we solve this problem," Obama said. "He's somebody I talk to on a regular basis. I'm already consulting with him in terms of these issues but climate change is real."
Yes, climate change is real. It's been changing all the time and . . . oh, what's the point?
