The coverage of this is going to be suffocating. The media is going to milk this for all its worth.

[gortklattu]

So we have a trial lawyer as a proposed Veep. Good.

Now, lets show how the trial lawyers are destroying this nation and costing every one of us big bucks.

Kerry's going to have trouble beating the "You've got to be a veteran to be president" drum, because every time he does, he'll be saying his VP is unqualified. Not that the press will mention it, or his supporters will notice, so accustomed as they are to the 'doubletink' double standard.

[WatchOutForSnakes]

I am already sick of seeing the coverage on this. Even Fox is having NOTHING but democratic spokesman on. Wake me the morning of the election so I can vote. Other than that it's nothing but the same old class warfare argument.

[Spook86]

You can say that again. In my workplace, we normally keep a pair of TVs on for breaking news. Fox was (characteristically) balanced in its coverage of the VP nominee, but CNN was positively gushing. Judy Woodruff apparently decided to forego her daily face-tightening session to anchor their coverage. I swear that woman looks like she's already been embalmed, but I digress. For what it's worth, I don't think Edwards is going to give Kerry the bump he's looking for. It's worth remembering that Edwards is extremely unpopular in his home state of North Carolina; he ran for President because his own polls showed he couldn't win re-election to the Senate. The liberal press will keep gushing for days on the Edwards selection, but I don't see him giving Kerry a 15-point jump in the polls. Most Americans--particularly southerners--recognize Edwards for what he is: a slickly-packaged ambulance chaser who'd sell his mother to climb the political ladder...

Edwards has only a 35% approval rating in his own home state

[claudiustg]

Isn't Edwards on the ticket going to make it hard for the medical community to get behind this ticket? Edwards made his fortune sueing doctors didn't he?

[Sabertooth]

Should Edwards be the Vice President? Without question he shouldn't. But the Noonan-Kaus hunch that Americans are over the WOT, Iraq and the serial beheadings is most likely true. But isn't it also true that Americans were over WWII, rationing, kamikazzee strikes and losing their boys in 1944. If Kerry-Edwards can convince enough Americans that this has all been Bush's war (not our war) and that once Bush relocates to Crawford the bad guys from the ME will stop making trouble for us, they will win.

Barring a major blunder, Edwards will also be tough for Cheney to beat in a debate,

For those interested in facts and experience, Cheney will paint the floor with Edwards.

The arousal-gappers, and there are many, will see it differently.

"that Edwards has won in a Red State"


Red...the color of all those ambulance sirens that Edwards made a career -- and fortune -- chasing! How appropriate!

My Question:

"You just recently said John Edwards was too inexperienced to lead, how do you respond to your own criticism of John Edwards and how has your opinion changed in just 4 months?"

[Graymatter]

Just don't call it looks over experience. Kerry looks like a lip licking reptile and Edwards blinks uncontrollably.
Kerry-Edwards = Liplicker-Blinkie

[beyond the sea]

John Edwards:

The political equivalent of breast implants" - the guy on for Boortz today !!! Pretty funny and true!

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

If I hear any more of this lie about Kerry not running a negative campaign, I think I'll lose it.

I shudder to think that even the dumbest of the dumb can buy this media lie. All I have heard from Kerry since day one is an attack on Bush. If that isn't negative, what is?

I'm sort of glad that Edwards was the pick. Gephardt may have helped the Dems more and I think Edwards is much more vulnerable.

I don't buy into the Hillary theory all the time, but I DO believe she wants the White House. It seems 2008 is her only shot, so I'll be looking for some signs of sabotage in the Kerry campaign.

[smonk]

the thought of johnny edwards wearing the "daddy pants" with
al queada on the move is terrifying.

[Graymatter]

I hope someone, sometime during this campaign, asks Kerry that recent poll question: "War in Iraq, worth it? Yes or no."

[judgeandjury]

Edwards is a litigator, not much of a legislator, with zero foreign policy cred.

Cred? Did Snoop Dogg write this article?
