Edwards' biggest problem is his mediocrity. He may be telegenic, but anyone who covered his campaign will tell you that he nearly bored them to death -- because he looked charming and charismatic but gave the same idiotic campaign speech 15 times a day for three months.

This is the untold story of Edwards' campaign. His strongest supporters were those who never had to listen to him speak.

Edwards will not be chosen for a very simple reason. Envisage a Cheney / Edwards debate. Cheney's command of his material and facts will make Edwards look like an airhead.

Not that he needed help, mind you.

I agree in principle, but would phrase it differently.

"edwards' biggest problem is that he is an idiot".

that single "two americas" stump speech is, you're right,
literally ALL he has. it wouldn't last through a national
campaign.
