The media has already crowned Edwards VP

[Mobius]

just give it up. Im hopeless and dispondant , just how the repukes want me.

[genius]

1. Edwards and Kucinich are the two best options to unite the party

And both opposed the occupation like Kerry.

[girl gone mad]

4. Edwards didn't oppose the..

ooccupation. He supported it and still does.

[HFishbine]

15. Whaaa?

That is a serious misrepresentation. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but Edwards couldn't be more gung-ho for the war.

[DjTj]

24. Couldn't be more gung-ho for the war...

...I think that's a bit of hyperbole. I might be able to name a few people who are more gung-ho for the war that can refute your point, but I'm sure it wasn't intentional.

But yes, Kucinich and Edwards certainly disagree strongly on the war and the occupation.

And Edwards VP pick would not be to unite with the ideological left, it would be to unite the Democratic base with the unions, the socially conservative South, and the poor working families.

2. Let's change that

This is NOT time for politics as usual, nor is it time to give up! Let's do all we can to get Kerry to pick Wes as his VP.

[janx]

3. I think that position, by implication, already belongs to Geppy.

[brentspeak]

14. I like Gephardt, but

he's not the kind of running mate that would add electablity to the ticket. Clark or Edwards would make for a more competitive ticket.

5. I'm an Edwards guy, and no one has been annointed anything

I hope they pick Edwards if Kerry gets it, but Edwards would make just as good a VP as Edwards. Please don't insult the Edwards people.

[MrSlayer]

9. I'm sure Edwards would be as good as Edwards.

Since he's compared to himself.

[HFishbine]

16. "Edwards would make just as good a VP as Edwards"

At least you're keeping your options open.

[West Coast Democrat]

6. No. There are doubts Edwards could swing North Carolina

for the ticket.

[brentspeak]

11. This is an area where I'm confused

I keep hearing that Edwards is no longer well-liked in NC. Is this true, and why, if it is?

Brentspeak

[HFishbine]

17. Because

He wasn't responsive to his constituents.

[West Coast Democrat]

18. His approval rating has been poor for a few years

and did not improve when he declared his Presidential run.

[abburdlen]

13. He did a great job

stumping for Bowles in his fight against Libby Dole here in NC.







oh yeah, I guess he couldn't beat the Helms machine that time.

[mmonk]

7. The Kerry campaign will make that determination

[SEAburb]

12. Do you really believe that?

The party insiders pick the VP.

[Mobius]

22. They will pick the media darling

:eyes: Face Reality.

[brentspeak]

8. It wouldn't make sense, though

given that Bob Torricelli is raising money for Kerry by enlisting help from the health insurance industry. The health insurance industry HATES Edwards. I would think that signals Kerry might instead pick Clark.

Brentspeak

[GreenArrow]

20. maybe it signals they'll pick

Lieberman.

[Mobius]

23. Great, I guess I can kiss possible health care good bye.

:eyes:

[Cuban_Liberal]

10. Apparently they haven't consulted Sen. Edwards.

he does NOT want to be VP--- he is running for POTUS!

[Feanorcurufinwe]

19. Did you hear Edwards on Larry King yesterday?

Sounds like he'll take it if offered.

[Mobius]

21. i didnt expect many to repond to this thread

perhaps I will add something after I read the replies.
