Edwards would be much harder for Bush to beat than Kerry - would force the GOP to spend tremendous resources holding the South. Plus the gravitas and charm and boyish good looks.

Edwards has "GRAVITAS"??????

[cyncooper]

Edwards does not have gravitas.

He can't even shine in a dem debate. He did pretty well last Sunday, but that was because Kerry was at his most pompous and gave a long rambling answer regarding his Iraq vote, and Edwards managed a little wit and to point out he stands by his own vote.

I agree with the poster up thread that said Edwards is the lesser of the evils.

I want Kerry out.

The Bush team can handle any of them.

Edwards has made most of his money as plaintiff's attorney vs. physicians -- nearly $70 million -- he has done great damage to medical care in the US as a result. Bush plans to make medical malpractice litigation a major campaign issue. Edwards has baggage here.

The Breck Girl has boyish good looks and phony, smarmy charm, but not gravitas.

President Bush has MANLY good looks and charm, plus gravitas, integrity, and sincerity, not the oozing phoniness of the multi-million dollar ambulance-chaser.
