WASHINGTON - In a move bound to increase speculation about his vice presidential hopes, Sen. John Edwards heads to Boston next week to headline at least two fund-raisers for Sen. John F. Kerry on his home turf.

The North Carolina senator will hit up Bay State donors on July 5 even as the man for whom he's collecting finalizes a choice of running mate. While Edwards has been hosting fund-raisers across the country in past weeks, this is his first foray into Kerry's backyard.

Although Kerry could wait until just days before the Democratic National Convention to make his pick, it may happen as soon as this weekend.

Kerry is spending July 4 in Iowa as part of his ``Celebrating the Spirit of America'' bus tour with another potential running mate, Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack. But Kerry will head back east on the 5th.

So for those expecting a July 4th VP announcement, you'll be rooting for Vilsack.

Interesting how Kerry has Edwards campaigning in Kerry's backyard. ;-)
