I agree. Edwards would be a great choice. I'd love to see him and Cheney go at it.
Just for fun, let's take a look at Edward's performance in the primaries...here are his best states (percentage and rank)
North Carolina 51%
South Carolina 44%
Georgia 41%
Ohio 34%
Wisconsin 34%
Iowa 31%
Utah 29%
Minnesota 27%
Tennessee 26%
Virginia 26%
Missouri 24%
Edwards came in first in the Carolinas, but all these other finishes were second place. I think he's well liked in the south and in areas of the Mid-West. I don't think he'd help much with the Pacific coast states or New Mexico, in which he got second place in only California with 19%. He didn't garner too much support in New England either, but that's not exactly a region that I'm concerned about.
I think Edwards would give Kerry what he needs...a certain Clintonesque, passionate southerner. I'm saying he's my definite choice...but he's a good one.
It will be a cold day in Hell before North and South Carolina turns Democratic again. If Edwards gets pick, MANY of the non-Republican voters will go vote so Edwards don't win our state.
