| Edwards Rejects Edwards/Kerry Tickets

[AP]

Presidential candidate John Edwards on Wednesday rejected any notion of sharing the Democratic ticket with front-running rival John Kerry — unless he is at the top.

Asked on NBC’s “Today” show if he would accept second place on the Democratic slate to face President Bush in the fall election, Edwards said: “I think you’ve got the order reversed. I intend to be the nominee.”

Edwards said he would not be willing to be No. 2. “No, no. Final. I don’t want to be vice president. I’m running for president,” he said.

Sounds Like Bush I in 1980.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
