John Edwards said on May 16, 2008 that he would not accept the number 2 spot on the Democratic ticket if asked by Barack Obama to be his running mate, Reuters reports.

"Won't happen," Edwards told NBC's "Today" program when asked if he would be Obama's vice presidential pick. "This is not something I'm interested in."

Asked if he had spoken Obama about a role in his administration if he beat Republican John McCain in November, Edwards said, "Only in the most abstract way."

We wonder, did Edwards tell Obama “no” in an “abstract way”?
