Edwards turned out to be a dud.  Got slaughtered in his home state and throughout the South.

Pretty boy is finished.

I agree wholeheartedly!

Edwards would not have won his home state in a Senate re-election campaign nor a presidential campaign. As VP on the Democratic ticket he failed to carry NC and his hometown of Robbins. He is extemely unpopular in NC due to his lack of representation in the Senate. As a Presidential candidate he may have done better than Kerry against Pres. Bush in the Midwest, but he would have fared no better in NC nor the South.

Clark seemed to have skeletons in his closet.  I supported him during the primaries, but I think he would have had a scandal or two in the general election which would have killed him.

Yeah, he had little things that would have hurt him.  Like the time he ordered the British to start WWIII.  That might have hurt him a bit.

World War III.  Say what?!?

During the Serbian operation, Russian troops occupied the Pristina Airport.  Clark, without orders, ordered the Britsh forces to take it from them, by force. 

The UK Commander Gen. Michael Jackson (that name is an odd coincidence), refused, on the grounds that the government had to order an attack on non-combant foreign troops.  Clark, enraged called Jackson's superiors in London.  They backed up Jackson.  Then Clark called the Pentagon, who also supported Jackson.  Soon after, Clark "retired."

While prehaps not starting WWIII, the action does reflect on Clark's judgment.

I'll modify that slightly.  Clark was told that his command early several days before this incident.  There were appearently problems within his command.

See. Clark is not dovish. He would have been the right man to lead war on terror. Action now questions later!

About Lieberman. He would have got most Jewish votes, yes. But he is too moderate for far-left liberals. Nader would have got much more votes if Lieberman had been a candidate.

Why would Lieberman win Virginia, and Gephardt Arkansas?
