HARDBALL: Edwards was not Kerry's first choice.
MSNBC ^ | July 6, 2004 | Me

Posted on 07/06/2004 4:47:15 PM PDT by McGruff

Chrissy Mathews, Andrea Mitchell and Howard Fineman were discussing Kerry picking Edwards when one of them said Kerry wanted Sen. Bob Graham as late as last night but he failed the vetting process.

Another tidbit, Teresa doesn’t care for Edwards because of what went on in the primaries.

The only memory he has is his collection of notebooks into which he writes every move.

I suspect that this is probably the biggest part of the "failed vetting".

But hasn't everyone who follows politics at all known this for years?

So now the mainstream media can have orgasm after orgasm over Pretty Boy Edwards.

But John appears to me to have a deer in headlights syndrome. He's gonna be mighty tiresome before this is over.

[Kerry] didn't want to "hurt the feelings" of the others on his short list...

That was very KINGLY of him. Yes, indeed. Very benevolent.

Here's an article I've kept a link to that discusses the journals. It's an old article, and comes from a liberal rag, but it does give insight into Graham's compulsion.

Kerry probably printed those signs off on his computer this morning before leaving the hotel room.

She should have threatened to cut off Kerry's allowance. Always worked on me

Laura Ingraham has taken to calling Edwards the "Silk Pony. Isn't that a perfect description.

Isn't that funny?

I guess up until 8:59, they could have just flipped those signs over!

Assuming the Graham info is correct, it speaks volumes about the status of Kerry's campaign. It means he knows he in deep **** in the other battlegrounds., doncha' think?

I wonder if, like Pepys, he had a symbol for mastabatory successes.

Note that they don't get the flag quite right; as though they've never really looked that closely at it

Did you SEE the rally?

There was 3,000 people there, if that. It was PITIFUL!
