AP: Chet Edwards Still in the Mix

AP's Liz Sidoti, a righteous fantasy football player, reports that Texas congressman Chet Edwards remains in Barack Obama's mix as his vice presidential decision draws nearer.

Edwards did not reply to our (my) e-mailed request for comment on his prospects yesterday.

Here's what Liz writes today:

WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama prepared to name his running mate, perhaps as early as Friday, from a small field that included at least one dark-horse finalist.

Democratic officials said little-known Texas Rep. Chet Edwards was one of the few Democrats whose background was checked by Obama's campaign and he was a finalist for the job.
