Political junkies, pundits, and even a few feminist groups were buzzing today about a possible Obama-Edwards ticket. In the wake of Mr. Edwards' coming endorsement of Senator Obama's candidacy, the possibility for the cutest ticket in recent memory is too enticing for many to resist.

"There's just no doubt that John Edwards is the cutest little thing, and Obama isn't far behind," said Barbara Walters, who used to be a journalist. "John McCain looks like Popeye. No one is going to vote for him.."

"Oh shut up, Barbara." quipped Star Jones. "You wouldn't know cute if it slithered up your leg. Edward Brooke? Damn, girl."

Other pundits weighed in on the cute factor to fill air time.

"Edwards is just a little too cute, if you ask me," opined Ann Coulter, syndicated columnist and denizen of Fox News. "Curious George and the Carolina Fairy? That is too cute."

Lou Dobbs predicted a bright future for the Obama-Edwards ticket. "I was tremendously worried that Senator Obama would pick Bill Richardson for the ticket," he pontificated. "This ticket has legs. We won't have to worry about criminals swarming across our southern border carrying knives, selling drugs, and raping our women folk. It's time we stood up. Don't we deserve a government that works? Obama is not as cute as Jack Kennedy, possibly the cutest President ever, but Edwards is so much cuter than Lyndon Johnson that he balances the ticket in Obama's favor. The Republicans better pack their bags."

"Hillary's not getting out," said campaign manager Maggie Willians. "We are negotiating with both George Clooney and Brad Pitt right now. She's not just another pretty face, you know."

Vice President Dick Cheney was unavailable for comment.
