John Edwards wants to be Obama's VP pick. He wants it really, really bad. Via The Corner, here is an excerpt from an interview Edwards did with NPR:NPR: Yesterday, Senator Edwards, Virginia Senator Jim Webb ruled out accepting an offer to run on the Democratic ticket with Barack Obama. Now, it's an open secret that you are on the short list. If you were asked, would you accept your party's vice-presidential nomination?
Sen. EDWARDS: I'm glad to hear that's an open secret, because I didn't know it. I - 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, from me or anybody else, to suggest what Senator Obama may decide. 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 I'm - what I'm going to do, I intend to take seriously. Because what I intend to do is everything in my power - use everything in my power to make sure that he's the next president.
NPR: So, you are prepared, perhaps, to accept that or perhaps a cabinet position in a possible Obama administration?
Sen. EDWARDS: I'm prepared to seriously consider anything, anything he asks me to do for our country.

John cannot bring anything. He could not even bring his wife when endorsing Obama. Obama can curry North Carolina without him on the ticket
