Why is Edwards the weakest candidate?

[mot78]

Granted that he's only been in the Senate for a few years, but his role on the Intelligence Committee gives him more forgien policy experience than * had in 2000, and he has delt with important legislation. Plus, he's been consistent with his record, unlike Kerry, who intellectually makes good arugements about his stands, doesn't stand a chance in this anti-intellectual, sound-bite culture of ours.

(BTW I'm still neutral about supporting a candidate other than Clark)

1. He's not.

We had a whole slate of candidates who could wallop Bush. Edwards is one of them.

[eileen_d]

2. What's so different about Kerry?

Can't he also wallop Bush?

[KittyWampus]

3. No Executive Experience. No Foreign Policy EXPERIENCE

Little Domestic Policy experience.

Little depth of knowledge.

Edwards has been consistent? HAHAHAHAHAHA

[killbotfactory]

5. He was on the senate intelligence comitee

that's got to count for something.

[KittyWampus]

10. Why Should That Count For Something? It Is Not EXPERIENCE

in actually negotiating etc.

Further, Edwards didn't even serve a full term before running.

Essentially, he is a personal injury lawyer who is good at manipulating people with not a lot of relevant expereience in handling an Executive Office such as POTUS.

15. erm, he 'didn't even serve his whole term' as NC Senator

and is not pursuing another either. mixed blessing i guess..

thanks johnny...for what little you did do for us.

an NC DU'er,

8. Do you support anyone???? Or, is this

just something you do???? It's a lot easier to take potshots at others' candidates, than to build your guy up, I suppose.

[KittyWampus]

11. Not Since Clark Dropped. Now I Just Call Em As I See Em

and Edwards has always been one of the weaker candidates whom Republicans were voting for in Open Primaries.

17. What about Kerry?

Where is his executive experience?

What is his domestic policy experience?

"Little depth of knowledge" is a personal attack upon a Democratic candidate.

I have heard both Edwards and Kerry discuss the Equal Protection issue. Judging by their discussions of the state of the law, however, I would have to say that Kerry is the least informed of the two, on that issue anyway. Something else to consider is that Kerry is a Legacy Admittee just like Bush.

Like I have said in earlier threads, none of the candidates have any experience that is directly relevant to what they would be doing as President. That does not mean, however, that they would not make great Presidents. Certainly they all would be better than Bush.

But if "executive experience" is what you want, you would be voting for Bush, not Kerry or Edwards. Think about that.

4. Edward is now the favorite because of Kerry's philandering

People are just sick of having to think about the intern thing again. It's too soon for that and Kerry should have thought of that before throwing his hat into the ring. This whole thing pisses me off so much.

[mot78]

6. WTF are you talking about

Alex Polier DID NOT have an affair with Kerry!

[eileen_d]

7. You don't need to be pissed off

because the "Kerry philandering" story was false.

[Taeger]

16. George Will on Hannity ...

George Will was on Hannity tonight. I really don't like George Will OR Hannity. But George Will called the Polien story COMPLETELY false. He talked a little about what SHOULD end up in the "mainstream" media.

Hannity tried to put some spin that these "marginal" news sources get most things right. George really didn't touch that.

Of course, we know that MOST of the Clinton scandals were absolute bumpkis.

9. Kick!

[lcordero]

12. He's not

Half a loaf = Edwards
no loaf = Kerry

Jobs against "National Security".

What good is it going to do for me to be "secured" while I am starving, I would rather be dead instead.

[dweller]

13. I WANT THE WHOLE KIELBASA!!

DK!!

peace,

[lcordero]

14. LOL...Me too

Come March, I'm voting for DK too.
