Texas Congressman Chet Edwards Among Potential Democratic VP Nominees

With literally hours remaining until Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama announces his running mate (via text message, no less), the internet is abuzz with last-minute speculation. Among the names now being bandied about is Texas Congressman Chet Edwards, an A&M and Harvard grad with a political career dating back to the early eighties. Though a less likely contender than more prominent figures like Delaware Senator Joseph Biden, Bayh, Kaine, and Sebelius, Edwards is nevertheless among those precious few who were vetted for the coveted VP slot.
