Edwards, still on the short list

Always a bridesmaid, never a bride? 

Former presidential candidate John Edwards is on a list of potential running mates for Democrat Barack Obama, according to a Michigan congresswoman.

Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, who leads the Congressional Black Caucus, said that members of Obama's vetting team, Caroline Kennedy and Eric Holder, indicated the two were on the list, the Associated Press reports.

"Former Sen. Sam Nunn’s name has come up, as well as John Edwards' name has come up among our CBC members," she said.

If true, that would make the third election cycle — after Al Gore's run in 2000 and John Kerry's in 2004 — that Edwards has made the short list of vice presidential picks.

Edwards has previously said he was not interested in the job.
