Edwards did Kerry a big favor tonight. (NS) He deserves the VP spot

Edwards could have sucked some big wind out of Texas and Florida and roughed Kerry up for a month or so, but he was a class act tonight. Edwards has proven that he can appeal to independents and moderates in the South. No potential VP choice has done the same. John Edwards has earned consideration at the very top of any VP list. Man, am I proud of him!

1. I think Clark has much of the same appeal plus 4 stars...
but I could live with Edwards.

2. I agree
I really hope he's VP. Kerry/Edwards is a very strong ticket, IMO.

3. Wes Clark did.

Clark's the best choice for VP. Edwards has no foreign policy experience. Clark IS foreign policy experience.

5. Clark IS foreign policy experience. Agreed.
Proven large numbers among independent voters for Edwards in the South.

9. I've warmed up to the Kerry-Clark idea myself.

That takes the Republicans only issue-- national security -- off the table, and also makes it difficult for them to paint the Dems as the girly fag party.

10. I think we should let John Kerry decide.
Edited on Tue Mar-02-04 09:07 PM by JPJones
If he asks you, you should give him your opinion.
