He does bring a pretty face to the campaign but there's nothing that differentiates him from John F*ckin'. Unlike in 1960, this is one southern Democrat who isn't a conservative. So Kerry doesn't bring ideological as well as geographical balance to the presidential ticket. That wing of the Democratic party is history. Consider some history. Fellow Massachusettan Michael Dukakis' pick of Texan Lloyd Bentsen in 1988 didn't help him carry Texas. There's no chance a Southern liberal like John Edwards can succeed where a conservative Texas Democrat like Bentsen failed.
A pretty face can't be discounted, unfortunately. Sometimes I think Steve Forbes could have done quite a lot better in politics if he were a tad prettier.
It would be the height of irresponsibility to place him a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

If I were an uninformed bleached blonde brain dead card carrying Democrat or just uninformed bleached blonde brain dead person who has complete faith in anything the media tells me, I would vote for John Edwards and his running mate, that really ugly guy. He is the easiest on the eyes. Now if that Jeb guy were running against JE, that'd be a different story.
The point is don't under estimate the sheeple's stupidity levels.
