Reply #22: Kerry/Edwards would be a weak ticket. [View All]

[Skwmom]

Kerry is not immune to attacks that he is a Democrat weak on national defense (for example the Republicans are already attacking him for voting against funding for equipment critical to the Afghanistan campaign). Edwards does not help against these types of attacks. In addition, the Republicans will make Kerry's health an issue and would hammer home Edward's inability to step into the role of commander-in-chief if Kerry had to step down. I'm not thrilled with Kerry or Edwards. However, at least Kerry isn't a lightweight. I thought only the Republicans supported empty suits (like Reagan and Bush). If the Democrats nominate Edwards the Republicans will no longer hold that distinction.
