firecracker,

What's the deal w/ Edwards? If memory serves correctly he neither carried North Carolina in the Dem. primary, nor did he help Kerry carry it in the general election.

I have nothing against him; he seems to be a moderate politican, someone to examine, but where does his electoral firepower come from in '08 in your opinion?

To be fair, I think it would have been next to impossible for almost any Dem to take NC. NC (with the exception of Metrolina) is a red state. Period.

Edwards is a little too green in my opinion. The environment is great, and important, and all that - but nothing you can base a solid campaign on.
