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

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.

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

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.

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.
