Yes, Kerry made a huge mistake choosing Edwards. Hasn't anyone noticed he is not running for re-election? Why? Because he would have LOST. NC hates his voting record.
If Kerry was thinking a southerner would help him...he picked the wrong dude.
Kerry certainly did. You are right in that Edwards decided not to seek reelection because he would have lost ..... big. And the media hardly gives it a mention. More importantly, it goes to Kerry's decision-making and judgment. Edwards is an inexperienced lightweight who is in no way fit to CIC. Bush I was hit hard by the media for his choice; Kerry gets applauded by them. Go figure.
