So whom should John Kerry choose as his VP? The favorite choice appears to be former challenger John Edwards. Edwards does bring two things to the campaign that Kerry lacks--one, charisma, and two, a choir-boy look. On everything else, they're pretty much identical, from their hair-dos to their flip-flopping on every issue. Besides, anyone notice what they do for a living? (I mean, besides deceive people.) They're both senators. And Edwards is from North Carolina, which is pretty much a goner for Bush anyway. And he's too young and, frankly, too stupid to stand up to Dick Cheney in a debate. Cheney made mincemeat out of Joe Lieberman last time around; Edwards will barely be a speed bump.
Not that I care. Sink your campaign on a nobody from North Carolina, Senator Kerry. But if I were picking to win, I'd tell you to go with someone who's either a governor or a congressman. Two Senators who know nothing about governing can't make for a very successful ticket. My picks? Either Dick Gephardt, who's actually a moderate, as opposed to the pretend moderates floating around the Democratic Party or Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico. But by all means, choose Edwards. It will make the Vice Presidential debate amusing if nothing else.
