They threw the Southern dogs a bone. Good.
Edwards is a fuck in many ways, but he's got some definite good points. And I really think his presence will help counter the idiocy that he gave credence to--the "Southern" vote, and mitigating Kerry's image as a damn New Englander who won the War and has been lording it over us for a hundred and fifty years and--
Let's fantasize and imagine Kerry wins, and then wins re-election, and Edwards runs in 2012 and wins that with his charming Clintonian ways, and then again in 2016...
Could be almost two decades of Democrats!

I'm just glad it wasn't Gephardt. Alex is right, Edwards provides a nice balance to Kerry, and compared to Cheney, its just no contest.
I still wouldn't be surprised, tho, to see Cheney use health as a reason to drop out. he's proven to be a real liability. If he stays, I think it only lends more credence to Big Dick being the puppetmaster behind the throne.

The Cheney Coup

Woa, how did I almost miss this?
After the 9-11 attacks, Cheney sent Bush away and took control of the US response to the attacks. He essentially staged a coup, taking over as "commander in chief". This information was contained in a draft report from the 9-11 Commission. America was under attack, and somebody had to make a decision. Dick Cheney, huddled in the Presidential Emergency Operations Center under the White House, had just urged the traveling George W. Bush not to return to Washington. The president had left Florida aboard Air Force One at 9:55 a.m. on 9/11 "with no destination at take-off," as last week's 9-11 Commission report noted. Nor had Bush given any known instructions on how to respond to the attacks. Now Cheney faced another huge decision on a morning in which every minute seemed monumental. The two airliners had already crashed into the Twin Towers, another into the Pentagon. Combat air patrols were aloft, and a military aide was asking for shoot-down authority, telling Cheney that a fourth plane was "80 miles out" from Washington. Cheney didn't flinch, the report said. "In about the time it takes a batter to decide to swing," he gave the order to shoot it down, telling others the president had "signed off on the concept" during a brief phone chat. When the plane was 60 miles out, Cheney was again informed and again he ordered: take it out. Then Joshua Bolten, after what he described in testimony as "a quiet moment," spoke up. Bolten, the White House deputy chief of staff, asked the veep to get back in touch with the president to "confirm the engage order." Bolten was clearly subordinate to Cheney, but "he had not heard any prior conversation on the subject with the president," the 9/11 report notes. Nor did the real-time notes taken by two others in the room, Cheney's chief of staff, "Scooter" Libby--who is known for his meticulous record-keeping--or Cheney's wife, Lynne, reflect that such a phone call between Bush and Cheney occurred or that such a major decision as shooting down a U.S. airliner was discussed. Bush and Cheney later testified the president gave the order. And national-security adviser Condoleezza Rice and a military aide said they remembered a call, but gave few specifics. The report concluded "there is no documentary evidence for this call."

i'm sorry but it has to be said:
the fact that kerry chose edwards is just WAY too coincidental to the plot of the West Wing where Martin Sheen's character who is a wealthy New Englander who had a privleged childhood chooses Tim Matheson as his VP who's charatcer is a young up and coming Democrat from the South who lost to Sheen in the primaries.
I just hope it plays out like the West Wing and they actually win the election.

It's going to be so awesome to see the friendly, likeable Edwards and the sniveling, villainous Cheney debate on TV. It'll be like Kennedy versus Nixon!

Unfortunatly the West Wing doesn't mention Matheson's college behavior as a party animal with a certain fraternity called the DeltasBaliset said:i'm sorry but it has to be said:

Wonder if that happened to Edwards?

I like Edwards and this is who I was hoping Kerry'd pick. I feel more confident about the election now.

I love thinking that Kerry's people purposely falsely leaked Gephardt's name to the Post because they're such GOP dick suckers.
