Edwards for Health and Human Services?

This is more a question to Kossacks: why has the focus on Edwards future revolved around him being Attorney General in a Democratic administration? Partly, the answer to my question may be that's simple the rumor that came out of the Obama camp.
But watching his speech today in New Oreans, and remembering once again the passion he feels for America's poor... it makes me think: why not make this guy Secretary of Health and Human Services?
"Democracy! Worship the crap out of it!"

A very funny piece about the faith-based presidency:

His basic point is: the Bible isn't exactly a bastion of democracy. You know, if anything, God is mainly an autocratic figure. You could argue that the New Testament is more about power to the people (though it still does mainly promote blindly following Jesus), but the Old Testament is pretty much, "Do what God says without question."
Bush seems like a kind of Old Testament sorta guy.
Vote with your wallet: Eat a Whopper today.

The dudes on "Unfiltered" had a good suggestion today:
Burger King was one of the larger national sponsors that pulled ads from Sinclair during this whole hubbub. And in fact, they are to be commended because they pulled their ads not only from the proposed airtime of the anti-Kerry documentary, but FROM THE ENTIRE DAY FROM ALL THE STATIONS. That's a big chunk of change Sinclair lost.
So "Unfiltered" suggested that we show our support in a very simple way today: everybody go have a Whopper for lunch today. And ask for extra Heinz ketchup. Maybe even get one of those paper crowns and wear it fancily around town.
Vote with your wallet, people! Money talks. Hamburgers are delicious. It's a win-win.
