There is simply no way that an inexperienced first-term Senator with absolutely no foreign policy or defense experience should be allowed to be a heart beat away from the Presidency in this day and age Sounds like the arguments against John F Kennedy.

... an inexperienced first-term Senator with absolutely no foreign policy or defense experience ... Did Bush have more foreign policy and defense experience than Edwards when he was nominated?

I disagree with the premise that he has little to no experience and is not dry behind the ears.The fact that John Edwards has only a single term in office makes him more palatable than any of the lifetime politicians seeking office. The government was not intended to support lifetime politicians. Serve, and leave was the intended program. No retirement and life time benefits. Serve your constituants and let another take your place to fully represent the will of the people. The idea of 24 year congressional and senate members does not allow for change in the personal views of the people.jmho
