This is an incredible ticket!
John Edwards is dynamite and a perfect pick. He has the right stuff to be president but is still somewhat green and young, so the VP is just right. He will bring incredible excitement and interest to the Kerry campaign, and he will help ALL OVER THE US, not just the south.
I now live in Georgia and Georgia was impossible for Kerry. Now with Edwards on the ticket, even impossible Georgia is a possible win for Kerry. And folks, if Kerry wins Georgia, it will not only be a Kerry win, but a Kerry LANDSLIDE.
Here is a message from John Kerry to his backers:
Dear Friend,
In just a few minutes, I will announce that Senator John Edwards will join me as my running-mate on the Democratic ticket as a candidate for vice president of the United States. Teresa and I could not be more excited that John and Elizabeth Edwards will be our partners in our journey to make America stronger at home and respected in the world.
You are the heart and soul of our campaign. You've shattered records and expectations every step of the way. Every time someone said you couldn't do it, you proved them wrong. Because of your incredible grassroots energy and commitment, I wanted to make the first official announcement of my decision to you -- more than one million online supporters at johnkerry.com.
I want you to know why I'm excited about running for president with John Edwards by my side. John understands and defends the values of America. He has shown courage and conviction as a champion for middle class Americans and those struggling to reach the middle class. In the Senate, he worked to reform our intelligence, to combat bioterrorism, and keep our military strong. John reaches across party lines and speaks to the heart of America -- hope and optimism. Throughout his own campaign for President, John spoke about the great divide in this country -- the "Two Americas" -- that exist between those who are doing well today and those that are struggling to make it from day to day. And I am so proud that we're going to build one America together.
In the next 120 days and in the administration that follows, John Edwards and I will be fighting for the America we love. We'll be fighting to give the middle class a voice by providing good paying jobs and affordable health care. We'll be fighting to make America energy independent. We'll be fighting to build a strong military and lead strong alliances, so young Americans are never put in harm's way because we insisted on going it alone.
I can't tell you how proud I am to have John Edwards on my team, or how eager I am for the day this fall when he stands up for our vision and goes toe-to-toe with Dick Cheney.
This is the most important election of our lifetime, and a defining moment in our history. With you by our side every day of this campaign, John and I will lead the most spirited presidential campaign America has ever seen and fight to lead our nation in a new and better direction.
Full Version: Hurrah! It's John Edwards
Thaiquila, orgasms are something that really are best kept personal, for others may surely covet the emotional heights you are able to attain. I, for one, think that Edwards is probably the best thing on the Kerry ticket. Like a concert where the opening act far exceeds the main event, he is refreshing.
However, almost anyone, other than a cadaver, could equal JFK the lesser. Keep in mind that Edwards did not run again for reelection because the odds of maintaining his current seat were just south of slim.
So, calm down. Take two benzodiazephines, and savour the gradual letdown before savouring the heights of emotional pleasure again. Back to back orgasms can be hard on the mind and body of those on the back side of 40: or older.

This could not have been a well thought decision. While it is politically advantageous perhaps, most will agree that is was meant to merely pick up some stray southern votes, even though most people in the south do not support Edwards.
The selection of a VP running mate is one of the first "presidential" decisions one can make, and Kerry has proven himself to be a failure once again. This in time will backfire, as Edwards will come across more adept at political discussion (i.e., handle debates better) but may also end up making people ask why he was not the true nominee of the party.
All in all, this pick on the surface may be good, but eventually the roots will show and this flower will wilt as well.

Too much excitement about this pick can be dangerous...
Edwards? well, what can Kerry do? its interesting that the American public would prefer a speaker like Bush to a speaker like Kerry - Edwards is probably better than both - is it good to have a man that will appear as over-qualified for the VP role next to the man running for president?
I guess the good news for democrats is that either are a better choice for president than Bush-Cheney -

EXACTLY.
Again, John Scary Kerry has only proven THAT HE IS OBSESSED WITH POLLS. NOTHING ELSE.
LOL, Edwards, his INCREDIBLE INEXPEIRENCE, this will backfire.

Inexperience is charming in a VP candidate.
It did not hurt DAN QUAYLE, and he was not only inexperienced but an idiot and a poor speaker.

AHH, to be born with both feet in one's mouth. BTY, what qualifies one as an idiot? Does someone who can't get facts correct, hyperventilates, allows emotions to predominate over reason, lacks foresight, qualify one as an idiot?
Anyway, let's scrutenize Edward's inexperience.
QUOTE
1998: Yitzhak Who? “One evening while he was campaigning for the Senate in North Carolina, Edwards was faced with a choice of several events he might attend. An advance man suggested, ‘Maybe we ought to go to the reception for Leah Rabin’ Edwards responded, ‘Who’s she?’ ‘Yitzhak Rabin’s widow,’ replied the aide. ‘Who was he?’ asked Edwards.” (Charles Peters, “Tilting At Windmills,” Washington Monthly, 6/1/03)

QUOTE
Kerry Attacked Edwards’ Maturity And Experience; ‘When I Came Back From Vietnam…I Don’t Know If John Edwards Was Out Of Diapers Then.’ “‘In the Senate four years – and that is the full extent of public life – no international experience, no military experience, you can imagine what the advertising is going to be next year,’ Mr. Kerry said. With a grin, he added: ‘When I came back from Vietnam in 1969 I don’t know if John Edwards was out of diapers then. Well, I’m sure he was out of diapers.’” (Adam Nagourney and Jim Rutenberg, “With Hopes Up And Elbows Out, Democrats Give Iowa Their All,” The New York Times, 1/19/04)
Here's another
QUOTE
Kerry Attacked Edwards’ Experience. “‘I think the American people want an experienced hand at the helm of state,’ said Kerry, who has spent 19 years in the Senate compared with Edwards’ five. ‘This is not the time for on-the-job training in the White House on national security issues.’” (Mark Z. Barabak, “Diverse States May Reshape The Democratic Race Today,” Los Angeles Times, 2/3/04)
One more from the Poodle
QUOTE
Kerry Blasted Edwards’ ‘Lack Of Military And Foreign Policy Experience.’ “Kerry took aim at Edwards’s lack of military and foreign policy experience while responding to Edwards’s comment that both candidates shared similar plans to rebuild Iraq. ‘Well, I think he would like it to be that way,’ said Kerry, a decorated veteran, ‘but I think I have 35 years of experience in international security, foreign policy, and military affairs, and I think that makes an enormous difference here. I think that the world is looking for leadership that is tested and sure.’” (Raja Mishra, “Edwards And Kerry Emphasize Contrasts,” The Boston Globe, 2/23/04)
Perhaps JFK, the lesser, has also taken the Hypocritic Oath.
Here are a couple more
QUOTE
In March Of 2001, [Wilmington] Morning Star Noted Edwards’ Weak Record. “Our junior senator is smart, charming, a smooth talker, nice looking, and a progressive Southern Democrat. And did we mention smart? But his only experience in politics is two years in the U.S. Senate. He’s built a solid record on TV talk shows, but not a solid record of legislative accomplishment - yet.” (Editorial, “Let Sen. Edwards Learn His Trade,” The [Wilmington] Morning Star, 3/7/01)
In Late 2002, Cox News Service Noted Lack Of Major Legislative Accomplishments During Edwards’ Four-Year Senate Tenure. “Edwards is sponsor of a Patients Bill of Rights bill in the Senate, but has no major legislative accomplishments thus far.” (Scott Shepard, “Democrats Face Major Obstacles In Trying To Regroup After 2002 Election Disaster,” Cox News Service, 11/8/02

So, let's be honest here. What we have is a political "Breast Implant" on someone who is obviously a "Pirates Dream".
What's a Pirates Dream you say? Why, a "sunken chest", what else?
It's really something to read about Taiquilla getting his nuts off over another tax-and-spend Liberal like this shister lawyer the Jackasses are running. Keep thaking that vitimin E for all those orgasams there, boy...
He's a better man than Kerry.
How much, I don't know, but that much is clear.

Interesting.
Didn't know you were a sex therapist.
Edwards assures Kerry will win in Florida and Arkansas. And it puts the entire south into a competitive arena. Have you heard his speeches? He is smooth as silk and incredibly persuasive. His appeal is universal, and mark my words, you guys have already LOST.
Thaikilla,
If Edwards won the Presidency then you would have 8 year of Democratic rule.
If Edwards helps Kerry win the Presidency, then you have 4 years of Democratic rule.
Math must not have been your strong point in school, but government you surely failed.
Kerry will ruin it for your party for a decade (12 yrs to be precise), if he is given the chance to be President.
Mark my words.
Better yet, print it and look at it in four years, if Kerry beats Bush.
Watch what you ask for 2004.

I do not get your point.
Kerry wins two terms starting 2004 -- 8 years
Edwards win two terms starting 2012 -- 8 years
8 plus 8 equals 16
No Thaiquila, I think you are wrong here and Kerry for Senator is right. Generally, Presidents get to serve only one term, with only a few exceptions. RR and Bill Clinton come to mind, but they both had a way of connecting with the people. GWB connects with the people, but we will see if it is enough to win a second term. John Kerry, if he wins will not be because of any chemistry on his part, but a purely antiBush vote, which will not be enough to sustain him past one term, and especially if there is terrorist attacks and he blows it, which he will.
