Bush Slams Edwards on Nominees Wednesday, July 07, 2004 RALEIGH, N.C. — President Bush on Wednesday curtly dismissed Democratic Sen. John Edwards' (search) political skills and experience as a rival to his vice president, telling reporters <font color=blue>"Dick Cheney can be president."<font color=black> Bush, campaigning in Edwards' home state of North Carolina, said he was unconcerned about the potential of Edwards to help carry states in the South — the backbone of Bush's political support. <font color=blue> "When they go to the polls to vote for president, they'll understand the senator from Massachusetts doesn't share their values," Bush said. "I'm going to carry the South because the people understand that they share — we share values."<font color=black> When a reporter noted that Edwards was being described as <font color=blue>"charming, engaging, a nimble campaigner, a populist and even sexy"<font color=black> and then asked <font color=blue>"How does he stack up against Dick Cheney?"<font color=black> the president immediately responded, <font color=blue><font size=4>"Dick Cheney can be president. Next?"<font color=black><font size=3> After Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (search) selected Edwards as his running mate Tuesday, the Bush campaign and the Republican Party immediately began criticizing Edwards' level of experience. He is serving his first term as a North Carolina senator, his only elective office after a 20-year career as a trial lawyer. foxnews.com
