Edwards is a fine guy but he's too green and doesn't have the gravitas necessary in these trying times with wars and all going on. It's a shame to waste him but I don't think he'll make it on the ticket, even as Veep, mainly because he cannot demonstrate that he could deliver North Carolina. If he could, he'd be a major contender. He was Clinton's early choice until he switched to Clark. And if Clark doesn't work, CLinton will switch to Gore. He wants a strong southerner, but also likes Kerry a lot. I'd say Kerry-Clark or Gore-Clark, but they are going to stop Dean. They have decided to, no matter what it takes. Gephardt also has an outside shot.

Unless he does something irrevocable, Dean's the man. Of course, he's got to have a clean past, since I'm sure part of Bush's $200 million is going to 50 PI's investigating him. Or maybe Richard Mellon Scaife is picking up the bill again.

I did see a clip of Kerry where he directly stated that the treasury was looted. Or something to that effect. That was good. Yes that was good, but he's backpeddled and no longer looks like he's taking the damage done to our country seriously, looking like a rich guy with a silly grin and spinmaster lines. He wasn't always that way, I'm not sure what his consultants are telling him. He and Edwards have taken the administration bait, voting for the war but attacking other Dems instead of Bush on the Orwellian lies. Dean's the only guy who clearly understands that Bush is making us and the rest of the world less safe, that the "jobless recovery" is an oxymoron, and that the endless lies from the Executive Branch calls for a bit of backbone. I see more evidence of fear in the GOP when talking about Dean. It used to be dismissiveness, then ridicule, now a grudging respect, even defending him on the Confederate flag flap, against the PC dems attacks, on Crossfire, Hardball, and Meet the Press, etc. I don't agree with astonished Repubs and some Dems who call Dean a brilliant strategist, and invoke all kinds of theories of how he's "encircled his opponents", etc. That has happened, but I think he's just speaking some simple truth as he knows it, and sticking with it. In a time of Orwellian doublespeak simple truth looks like genius. The Dem opposition have talked themselves into a corner, and attack Dean on non-starter issues like healthcare, which no one believes except their spinmeisters.
