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

That seems common amongst the wives of candidates.

I'm not so certain that Kerry would have wanted Bob Graham. My suspicion about this long quiet period was so that skeletons could be locked away and that the Breck Boy would have time to review the world map and list of world leaders names.

Edwards would have made the Democrats a better presidential candidate than he will a VP candidate. If he had been, he would have been put to good use as the star of tv commercials with all that money the Dems have raised. Put Kerry in a commercial and you get the opposite effect that you are looking for. This scenario reminds me of that classic Bette Davis movie All About Eve where "innocent" Anne Baxter undermines the star at every juncture. Edwards has political potential and he knows it while Kerry is a dried up second rate hack who never really had anything going for him until he met the pickle princess who is swimming in money.

Say, what's "vetting"? Examination by a vet?

"Actually, I picked Bob Graham before I picked John Edwards!"

Why the big hurry when you have 3 weeks before the Convention?? Typical braindead liberals making major decisions with polls!

Pray for W and Our Shining City

Here's an excerpt from last night's Hardball transcript.

MATTHEWS:  OK, both of you.  You first, Andrea.  Why did he hesitate on Edwards to the point of bringing in Bob Graham into this discussion at the last minute, it seemed, last night.  He was still thinking Bob Graham.  What held him back from picking Edwards at the end?

MITCHELL:  I think it was that final decision that Edwards was really qualified to be president, that they could be compatible, that he wouldn‘t overshadow him or be too ambitious.  I think that is still yet to be proved and tested.  But actually, Bob Graham, I was told, was his first pick.  Let‘s put John McCain aside, Of course, because that—that was his sort of wishful thinking.  But Bob Graham was his favorite Democrat—good friend.  He sold his house to Bob Graham.  They‘d worked together on things.  He really liked Graham and liked the thought of Graham as a potential...

MATTHEWS:  But?

MITCHELL:  ... president, and was finally persuaded that it wasn‘t that safe a choice because Graham is a little bit—Graham was a little bit quirky.

FINEMAN:  A couple other things, Chris.  I think Graham didn‘t play outside of Florida.  He gave him a fighting chance, maybe help him in Florida, but didn‘t—wasn‘t seen as helping him anywhere else.  Bob Graham—excuse me—John Edwards‘s media adviser is Bob Shrum, who‘s also the media adviser to the Kerry campaign.  I think Shrum argued for Edwards.
