Flashback: Kerry Blasted Edwards Over Foreign Policy Experience In '04

[jackson_dem]

From CNN, 7/6/04:

During the primary campaign, Kerry himself took aim at Edwards' lack of foreign policy experience, noting at one point that when he returned home from serving in Vietnam in 1969, "I don't even know if John Edwards was out of diapers."

But Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, a South Dakota Democrat, defended Edwards' experience Tuesday, noting that he "has a lot more Washington experience than George Bush had four years ago."

"When you look at what John Edwards has done for working families, for people who have been fighting hard all their lives to make ends meet, I can't think of a more qualified candidate than John Edwards," Daschle said.

1. Now both Daschle and Kerry are Obama supporters.

2. WOAH!!!

I can't believe he went on to pick him as his VP.

6. Just because JFK was older than Edwards

doesn't mean that JFK wasn't smart enough to understand that he needed all the help he could get in the South.

7. I recall reading he was reluctant...

to choose him...who knows? I understand about mixing fantasy with reality..but I don't understand how anybody can actually assume they know what goes on at that level of politics. fun to watch though...

5. Convenient. You probably never did, or at least just say so now.

Gee, a candidate criticized another four years ago. You are apparently shocked! Shocked! (I wonder who your candidate is? Hmmmmm. . . Tough to guess). Anyway, round up the usual suspects.

8. Bill Bradley

Bradley prefers Edwards but chose Obama because Edwards lost Iowa.
