Reply #35: Edwards, Edwards, Edwards! [View All]

Bob Graham- I think his quirks are kind of charming myself, but did anyone see the event in Iowa where he started singing? He's lost a lot of credibility in FL during his presidential campaign. Besides I think it is entirely the wrong strategy to pick a candidate solely on the assumption he will carry his own state.

Bayh-again no problem with him personally but why?? I grew up in OH and I can tell you Bayh would be no help in the Midwest. Edwards has more appeal in the Midwest than any other potential VP.

Nunn- This would be the most charasmatically challended ticket ever.

Clark- good man for secratary of defense, but he makes too many gaffs for VP campaigning. We don't want to spend anymore time on damage control than we have to. Furthermore, I don't think General Clark has a Vice-Presidential mindset.

Gephart- We have to defend Kerry's 19 year voting record. Do we really want to defend Gepharts too?

Biden- Secreatary of State. again long voting record and probably not the best stump speaker

Richardson- The scandels that occurred in the Department of Energy during his tenure could be a disaster in a campaign based on National Security

Of the ones you listed- Fienstien is the best choice in my opinion.

But we really need Edwards.

Sometimes the obvious choice is also the best choice.
