Chet Edwards Dark Horse Pick for VP
Democratic officials said little-known Texas Rep. Chet Edwards was one of the few Democrats whose background was checked by Obama's campaign and he was a finalist for the job.
Who the heck is Chet Edwards and why would Obama make this pick? I can't imagine that this would help him with the general public.
Can anyone convince me this is a good pick?
I totally trust Obama and his decision making. This pick would worry me though. I am sure he is quite vetted, but 99% of America outside his district will never have heard of the guy, so they will need to learn about him (and Obama).
