Running Mates?

One of the reasons I wish this never-ending battle between Hillary Clinton & Barack Obama would cease is because I would like to see who the eventual nominee picks for a running mate. Right now, I am assuming that the eventual nominee is going to be Obama. Although I believe that any combination of Obama-Clinton (or be that as it may, Clinton-Obama) will be an unbeatable ticket, I really don't see that happening.

Yesterday, the man who I originally thought was going to be the frontrunner at the start of the democratic race, John Edwards, came out and endorsed Barack Obama. I instantly thought of an Obama-Edwards ticket... here is a guy, a southern white man, who could get those "white working class folk who didn't go to college" to swing Obama's way. (The pundits are saying that this dynamic is what has led to Clinton victories in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and most recently, West Virginia.) I don't see that happening either... Edwards has an ailing spouse to take care of and I think he should be more concerned with that than criss-crossing the country in the fall. After all, family comes first.

John McCain hasn't picked a running mate either and I'm curious about who his choice is going to be. It probably isn't a urgent need for him to do so right now... he's just biding his time like the
rest of us and waiting to see who the last man (or woman) standing will be.
