If Kerry runs, will Edwards not, or will they oppose each other for the nomination? Previous VP candidates like Bob Dole and Joe Lieberman said they would not run for president if their former running mates were to get into the race. I'll bet Edwards wouldnt let Kerry stop him. If Edwards does run, with Hillary in the picture or not, I suspect he will get nowhere.

How time flies. It was a year ago, on the night of the MLK holiday, that Kerry won the Iowa caucus and he was on his way to the nomination.

Bob Dole ran as Jerry Ford's running mate in 1976 opposite Walter Mondale. After Ford lost that year, I don't think there was ever a chance he would run again. After all, Ford barely kept Reagan from becoming the nominee in 1976, despite the powers of incumbency, and his first chance to run when Reagan wasn't in his way would have been 1988 when he was already in his 70s.

John Edwards did not help Kerry win a single state...he may not have convinced a single voter to vote Democrat who would not have done so anyway. I don't see him as a strong contender in 2008.
