president," Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) said in a television on
Wednesday morning.
"Okay, we're going to hold onto that soundbite, Today show anchor Matt
Lauer warned Edwards.
Lauer raised the question of a John Kerry-John Edwards ticket in his
Wednesday morning interview.
"There's a growing chorus, Senator, talking about Kerry-Edwards in the
fall as a ticket that could really challenge George W. Bush," Lauer
said. "Do you think you could be effective in that ticket?" Lauer said
he meant Kerry for president, Edwards for vice president.
"I think you got the order reversed," Edwards joked. "I intend to be
the [presidential] nominee, Edwards said.
Lauer persisted: "Would you consider being a vice presidential
candidate?
"No," Edwards said.
"No?" Lauer said. "Final?"
"No. Final. I do not want to be vice president, I am running for
president."
