Pelosi continues praise of Chet Edwards

By Jason Embry | Thursday, June 26, 2008, 07:19 PM

At her weekly press conference Thursday, reporters asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi about her surprising mention earlier this week of Waco Democrat Chet Edwards as a possible running mate for Barack Obama.

Pelosi said she has always tried to encourage Edwards to run for leadership posts.

“I particularly admire the work that he has done on veterans’ issues,” Pelosi said. “He is Mr. Veterans in the Congress.”

She went on to praise spending increases on veterans’ programs while Edwards has led the Appropriations subcommittee that deals with those issues.

She continued, “Whether it’s with regard to homeland security, to protecting our people, to protecting our Constitution, he would be a great addition to the ticket.”

How do you really feel, Madam Speaker?
