Kerry picked Edwards in 2004 to deliver several swing-states. Edwards did not do it. Edwards spent a long-long time in Florida and had no luck. He didn't deliver rural Iowa or Missouri either.
And Wisconsin was much too tight for comfort.

Bush's dirty campaign and willingness to cheat and constantly lie was the real culprit, especially in Ohio, along with the media's tolerance of his phony claims and smears, but let's not forget that Edwards failed too. As it turned out, Kerry should have picked Wes Clark, a super solid military man who would have covered his back from the outrageous smearvet attacks. Edwards seemed like a great idea at the time, but actually did nothing for Kerry. And Kerry needed him. He never denied that.

Remember, LBJ delivered Texas for JFK and that made all the difference. Gore also helped Clinton carry several southern states. But Lieberman and Edwards contributed nothing. Which put Bush in power. A democratic running mate must add some electoral votes to the game. When he fails, the ticket fails.
