Why Edwards won't be picked for the VP slot.

[ShapeShifter]

Edwards lack experience in politics - just only served 1 term as a senator in NC. This in itself takes him out of the possibility of him being picked for the VP slot. Kerry is not going to pick him to try to win the south because he knows the south is not where the battlefield is. It takes more than charms and looks to be a good, qualified president.

The question you have to ask yourself is, among the many possible VP, who would actually make a good, qualified president and has the political experience to do the job?

These are people on my short list:

Sen. Evan Bayh (Ind.)
Sen. Bob Graham (Fla.)
Ex-Sen. Bob Kerrey (Neb.)
Gov. Bill Richardson (N.M.)

Blue is Red

Now, everyone go ahead and disagree with me, since everyone loves to disagree with me.

I think it's a terrible idea to have two senators on the ticket. If Kerry does pick Edwards (or anyone from Congress for that matter), it would only make it easier for Bush to label them as ineffective leaders.

Kerry needs someone with executive experience. I think he will pick a governor like Richardson.

Finally, someone agrees with me. If you noticed my short list, all of them have had executive experience.

I disagree. Blue isn't Red.

I am just going to call it a bad day.
