It doesn't seem very likely, but...

As you may have heard, John Edwards has endorsed Barack Obama. That Times blog post says (alongside much more):

...privately, [Edwards] told aides that he would consider the role of vice president, and favored the position of attorney general, which would appeal to his experience of decades spent in courtrooms as a trial lawyer in North Carolina; and his desire to follow in the footsteps of Robert F. Kennedy, one of his heroes.


I think Edwards--who has been kind of a hero of mine, off-and-on--would make a deserving AG nominee. But if they could overcome the unlikelyhood--has anyone ever been a vice presidential nominee two elections in a row for two different presidential candidates?--that's a ticket I would dearly love to see.

Everything else aside, think of the wit of a campaign with Obama, Edwards, and John McCain. I don't want McCain in the oval office, but the man's got a better sense of humor than either Bush or Clinton. If McCain picks Rudy Giuliani as his running mate, get the popcorn.
