Apparently when journo went off on how much charisma, etc. that Edwards has and asked how Cheney will stack up against him, the Prez simply responded: "He can be the president."
Here's the text:

THE PRESIDENT: Yes, speak up. I'm getting a little --
Q If I could try another Edwards question. He's being described today as charming, engaging, a nimble campaigner, a populist, and even sexy. How does he stack up against Dick Cheney?
THE PRESIDENT: Dick Cheney can be President.
Next.

"And I want you to know we think this is a dream ticket. We've got better vision. We've got better ideas. We've got real plans. We've got a better sense of what's happening to America. And we've got better hair. I'll tell you that goes a long way."
November can't get here soon enough!
