POLITICAL WIRE
"According to a Democratic strategist unaligned with any campaign but with knowledge of the situation gleaned from all three camps, the answer is simple: Obama blew it. Speaking to Edwards on the day he exited the race, Obama came across as glib and aloof. His response to Edwards's imprecations that he make poverty a central part of his agenda was shallow, perfunctory, pat.

There's a good reason John Edwards is still on the fence. He is angling for the vice-presidential nomination. Obama will certainly be the Democrat's choice for president - and for Hillary to be his vice-presidential candidate would mean a ticket with two people from northern states. The nomination of Jimmy Carter for president (initiated by David Rockefeller, via the Tri-Lateral Commission) signalled that the nation's power elite recognized that the states of the former Confederacy were becoming the new political economic and political epicenter of the United States. They only enlarged their role in these respects since. (To many southerners, the upper midwest counts as the north. Remember the Union side in the Civil War). Moreover, both these candidates have been backed from the start by megabucks from hedge fund centimillionaires and Wall Street - here I speak of Hillary - and Hollywood and Chicago's Penny Pritzker's Hyatt Hotel fortune.
With Edwards as vice-president, the Democrats would be able to "ballast" an Obama ticket using a southern politician who knows how to present a populist rhetoric (without any real policy substance) whose demonstrated charisma would appeal to the states of the American South and, as well, states on its periphery, extending to the west and southwest.
As they might say here in the South, the Democrats are fixing to blow it again. Maybe Edwards thinks so, too, and is angling for his presidential bid in 2012. That being the case, it makes perfect sense that he would want to distance himself from the fiasco that is likely to occur.
Louis, let us not forget the close Rockefeller ties to the state of Arkansas and to Slick's old mentor, Senator J. William Fulbright.
I think John Edwards has effectively demonstrated that he will not ever be the president of the United States. If he's angling for a future presidential run, he's wasting his time and everyone elses.
