On the campaign trail, Mr. Kerry lights up when he sees Mr. Edwards's wife, Elizabeth, but can be cool toward her husband. It is no secret that the Massachusetts senator views Mr. Edwards's lack of foreign policy and military experience with disdain; Mr. Kerry once cracked that when he came back from Vietnam in 1969, Mr. Edwards might not have been "out of diapers." He later called to apologize.

Mr. Edwards, who views his own sunny disposition as a campaign asset, has confided to close associates that Mr. Kerry lacks the kind of personal appeal necessary to win against President Bush.

He has also been miffed, aides said, at what he regards as Mr. Kerry's occasional snobbish behavior. Backstage at a recent debate in Wisconsin, Mr. Kerry barely greeted Mr. Edwards, while chatting up the other candidates.
