While surfing TV last night (and after not watching Chris Mathews for at least a year), I heard him going over the pitiful prospective candidates for 'o4.......when he got to Edwards' name, Chris asked, "What's he got but cute?"
Chris is right for once but, unfortunately, in this age of tv being telegenic is all that matters to some. They don't realize that there needs to be some gray matter under that pretty hair.
Disclaimer: I don't think the Ambulance Chaser is "cute" but realize that many people think that he is.
