Default VP Hopeful Edwards dodges the question

July 23, 2008
Edwards Responds...Or Not...
John Edwards responded to a couple of issues dogging him this week.

http://thevote.abc13.com/2008/07/newposthold.html

First he addressed the persistent rumors surrounding the possibility of another VP run.

Then he answered (by not answering) a series of quick questions about reports in The National Enquirer linked through The Drudge Report that he met a woman the Enquirer claims is mother to Edward's unacknowledged "love child". Edwards is married to Elizabeth (not the woman with whom the Enquirer claims he carried on an affair).

A transcript of the exchanges is below. But you can click directly on the video to watch it. Edwards becomes visibly uncomfortable.

Edwards was in Houston on Wednesday to promote an anti-poverty project called Half In Ten. Our photographer Stephen Davis was at the press conference.

Reporter: Senator, do you have any thoughts if candidate Obama decides to name you as a vice presidential running mate?



Edwards: Well you know you won’t be shocked to hear that I’ve been asked this before and I’ve said the same thing every time. I am not seeking the job and I truly don’t expect to be asked. Anything though that senator Obama asks me to do either in his campaign or in his administration that will allow me to serve my country, I would take very seriously.


Reporter: How do you feel the situation in los angeles on Monday would affect any future in politics in this administration-a potential Obama administration?


Edwards: I don’t know…none. I don’t.


Reporter: None?



Edwards: None.


Reporter: The national enquirer story?


Edwards: I don’t talk about these tabloids. They’re tabloid trash and just full of lies. I am here to talk about helping people.
