House Speaker Nancy Pelosi touts Waco Democrat Chet Edwards for VP

A Texan on the presidential ticket this year? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has one in mind.

In an interview with Newsweek, she suggested U.S. Rep. Chet Edwards of Waco – whose district includes President Bush's Crawford ranch – for vice president.

Mr. Edwards, a moderate Democrat who specializes in military and veteran affairs, said it was a privilege to be considered but that he hasn't met with the Obama search team.

If Nancy Pelosi is proposing Chet Edwards as OBama's ticket-mate, Texas' Congressional District 17 better think long and hard about re-electing him. Is it that Edwards is such a great candidate or is it to poke a finger in the eye of President Bush because Crawford is in CD-17, somehow I think it's the latter.
