You are right about the campaign and that ad with McCain was sitting there waiting for the VP announcement! Great to showcase Kerry's #1 pick for VP who happens to be supporting Pres Bush!

So the 4-month veteran and the 4-year senator are expecting to lead this nation in a time of war?

No, they're expecting to surrender...

I am sure Nunn wouldn't want the hassle of going through a campaign. He might be offered the job of SecDef. I am amazed about everyone extolling Edwards' charisma and the excitement he brings to the campaign. Edwards could only win one primary against a boring, dull candidate like Kerry. So what's changed?

***Wait until you see the advertisement of Edwards hauling his cash to the bank in a wheelbarrow, going by the OB/GYN office putting out the " closing going out of business sign"

ROTF!!! It's a very good day in the neighborhood. Happy Birthday, Mr. President!

Ya know, out of all the posts thus far, I believe you're the first to pick this up (besides me). Edwards selection has Hitlery's cloven hoof prints all over it.

If anyone bothers remembering last week, all the 'buzz' was that Terry McAwful wanted Kerry to pick Edwards. And Terry & His Pirates don't do squat without checking with 'The Beast' first.

Ergo, Edwards was Hitlery's selection -- period.

As such the behind the scenes sabotage will soon commence, leaks will come out every other news cycle and the two Johns, or Johns2, will be in damage control 24/7. Both Kerry's & Edwards 'camps' are filled with clintonistas and those kool-aid drinkers have only one goal - Hitlery in '08.

So this is a setup for failure by her and her minions, nothing more.

Just goes to prove who's really calling the shots at Kerry Campaign HQ. LOL

Lurch makes a decision and ends up in a armlock scissor hold on the floor by Marty Meehan. LOL

"if they had found a couple of WMDs"

I believe they have - on several occasions but it does not seem to matter anymore.

Are you always this filled with gloom??

Bush's personal negatives are in the 20's and his positives in the 60's.

The economy is strong and will stay that way. The country of Iraq is sovereign and free because we liberated it.

And Kerry and Edwards are losers.

Be happy.

No. I believe Nader is/was a trial lawyer like Edwards. So they are kindered spirits.

I tend to agree. It would be extraordinary for Kerry to win Ohio this year. Edwards may bring that Two Americas stuff, but that will dissipate. The VP has no independent campaign theme.

The only other option Kerry has (Florida is lost) is to try to get NH and NV. If you look at the map, he has to get all of the Gore states (IA, MN, WI, NM, OR will not be easy, PA and MI are not slam-dunks either) and has to pick up something else. FL is out of bounds and the only shot there was Bob Graham who would have been a disaster for other reasons. He might get NH and NV, but he has to manage it without losing anything, so he can't specifically tailor his message to them, or he can try to win Ohio. That's the only chance he's got.

Foreign markets didn't seem overly impressed with the news...

Yes, the Kerry Campaign can use this info.

"See, Edwards was a great choice. Markets saw that Edwards on the ticket increased my election chances, so the markets promptly tanked."

"That is, except for Hong Kong's Hang Seng index, which partially represents Communist China's interests."

Be prepared for Bush to counter with Giuliana or McCain as VP candidate. This election is looking too close right now and McCain would help Bush more than Cheney in November

LOL! You probably thought Hillary was Kerry's VP choice too, right? It's been a done deal and it will be Bush / Cheney.

Sheesh, I just figured it out. Kerry selected somebody with the same name so that when he flip-flops he can blame it on the "other John".

He, he....yeah, we shoulda' seen it coming! Good one, prairiebreeze!

May I point out that Kerry's first decicion was for vanity/politics not what was best for America......

Choosing the "fair haired John-boy" Kerry is suggesting he thinks a person with only part of one term in the senate can be the leader of the free world....not now....

What I'm seeing in the actions of various elected Pubbies (e.g. illegal immigrant amnesty, the recent rejection by the HOUSE of any spending controls, various state Pubbie actions along those lines) is that when it comes time to get out the vote, a significant portion of the conservatives in the Pubbie base will be too pi$$ed off to vote, even if the precinct captain says, "Boo!".

Given recent trends in voter identification and participation, I'd have to put the "vast middle" at no more than 8% of those that show up at the polls (and that's with a high turnout), and probably closer to 5%. Considering each of the 3 previous Presidential elections turned on a fringe candidate biting into the extremes of the loser's base when that loser chased the "middle", and that there is no "viable" fringe candidate (Nader won't be on most of the ballots this time), ignoring a chunk of the base to chase that 5% middling is a loser's game.

Boom-a-laka, Boom-a-laka, sis boom Bah.

There, is that enough cheerleading for you?

You say, be happy. Right now I'd rather be wrong.
