LAS VEGAS - Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said on Thursday he would not accept the nomination for U.S. vice president as he did four years ago.

Edwards, a former senator from North Carolina, dropped out of the 2008 race that is still being contested by the two remaining Democrats, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, to see who represents the party in the November 4 general election.

Edwards was picked as running mate with Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry in 2004 but the two were defeated when President George W. Bush and Vice President ####### Cheney were re-elected.

After his keynote speech at CTIA, the annual U.S. wireless industry showcase, Edwards was asked in a question-and-answer session if he would accept the nomination for vice president.

"No," said Edwards, who also declined to say whether he would endorse Clinton or Obama.

Edwards dropped out of the presidential race after finishing third behind Obama and Clinton in key early nominating states.

I wasn't being snippy...I was explaining why I think he's decided not to accept being VP if he were chosen.

Your reading comprehension is slacking again, dev.

Hillary's trailing is getting you all bent out of shape.

Do you do this for fun or do you actually believe what you type?

Could you consider for a second that Steven was taking a guess, and that he was trying to express that?

Yes, I was trying to empathize with the guy. I read a recent article about Elizabeth Edwards having a meeting with Obama and she mentioned that her cancer had spread to her bones. I cannot imagine what that poor family is going through.
