For a party that just got destroyed in the midterms, Republicans around here are pretty cocky.
Not cocky at all. A lot of them are right in that Edwards would be a terrible candidate who would do no better and possibly worse than John Kerry in 2004. At the end of the election, he'd still be a one term ex-Senator from North Carolina. And McCain and Giuliani are both good candidates, both with very good chances of becoming president; as it stands right now, all the Democrats have is Hillary. They'd be making a big mistake putting their hopes in someone like Edwards.
