Passing over Edwards would definitely weaken the ticket in the South.

John Edwards has Dan Quayle's looks without his depth. Kerry needs a Southerner on the ticket, preferably a Floridian. Janet Reno is available.

I don't think Edwards wants it. I think he wants to run in 2008.

IMHO, Edwards would have been trouble for Bush. Looks, charisma, southern eloquence and charm (I actually liked him). I think he'll sway voters even as VP. Bush would absolutely NEED to counterstrike with a different VP. Someone north and south like. Giulianni (sp?) or someone I'll admit i like though he's a dem, Liebermann, although the Jewish thing is a problem in Middle East politics. Please don't flame me too much for saying I like a couple on Dems. Æ
