His slippage in the polls prior to his selection of a running mate dictated he pick some one flashy and energetic for persuasive reasons. For real reasons though he would have been wiser to pick someone who might actually have a clue how to lead the country in a time of war should anything happen to himself. We are at war, Mr Kerry.
John Edwards has no experience in anything except swaying juries to award unrealistically large sums of money to accident victims thus running up insurance rates of all types….automobile, health, malpractice etc.
He has never once led a group, not even something as simple as Freedom Fry fryers at Burger King...unless you count jurors.
Edwards has no military experience…even after Kerry made it the major important issue.
Four years as a Senator, two of which he spent trying to run for president and now VP.
That’s all, folks!
So Kerry botches his first big decision, picking a second in command, by putting the major need – competence if disaster strikes – in a lower priority than political needs.
Now, please Michael Moore wannabees....let's just talk about Edwards' qualifications to lead the country in war time or Kerry's decision making motivations here...let's not make comparisons to all others in the past, nor about Cheney who has already had his turn being disected.
