john edwards on the ticket
 
news reports indicate edwards will be the vice presential candidate for the democrats. he is scheduled to be announced shortly. what do you think?

I think he'll be a boost for the Dems. At least in the short term.

I am so excited about this. My brother worked for Edwards until March when Edwards dropped out of the race, and he converted my mother, my husband, and me to Edwards supporters. I was actually planning on voting for Edwards if he wasn't chosen for VP (I think MA will be going for Kerry, so I didn't feel guilty about it :) ). I've been on the phone all morning with my family, it's so much fun. Today is such a great day!

Now if something could just happen to get Kerry to dropout, I'd seriously vote Democrat. Edwards is a former trial lawyer. I want to be a trial lawyer, so I know he'd be looking out for me :D

Another cool thing about Edwards is that he was state school educated. NC State and UNC Chapel Hill.

This is the best match up I think. Edwards is well liked and he may help out in the south a little, maybe just enough to swing states such as Florida and NC.

The headline of the New York Post is "Kerry's Choice Dem picks Gephardt as VP Candidate!" lol!

The Democrats finally have their Dan Quayle.

"Dewey defeats Truman" is the first thing I said when I heard about the Post headline.

Can somebody get me a copy of it? It's going to be a collector item.

I'll see if there are any extra copies around here...usually the hospital has a bunch as it's one of the papers that they sell around here.

Peaches-n-Cream 07-06-2004 01:22 PM

I should buy a bunch and sell them on ebay. I can make some $$$$ ;)

Funny stuff. Someone is feeling pretty stupid today.

Back to the election, I think Edwards will be strong addition.

Someone metioned Quayle -- maybe if Cheney decides not to run,
George W should talk to Dan.

I'm sure they have a lot of mutual friends from the Viet Nam era National Guard.

Disclaimer: That's a joke and in no way is meant to besmirch the importance and reputation of the National Guard. It's just that the topic hounded Quayle then as is does Bush presently. Thank you. Have a nice day.
