Edwards will be like Al Gore, he will vanish within the next 4 years. What is he going to do for 4 more years? Looks like he is going back to being a trial lawyer. Some one else will emerge.

Not necessarily. If, in the unlikely event of a Kerry victory, he'll certainly have some sort of position in the administration, and in the likely event of a Kerry loss, I could see him taking some high profile job in the DNC and coming back in '04.

Honestly, he scares me a little. He's extremely good looking and likable. I'd be a lot more worried about this time if he were the nominee instead of Kerry.

Not sure I agree. I think in retrospect, after Kerry goes down to a stunning defeat in November all the Monday morning quarterbacks will decide that the only reason he got the nomination was because he seemed like the only alternative to Dean. The same people will convince themselves that had they picked Edwards he surely would have beaten Bush. Edwards losing the primary will ony help him in the future as the young senator that did well on his first try at the nomination and should be given a second try. Who else is there beside Hillary?
