How does this affect Hillary?

She has previously mentioned an October surprise.

To get Kerry off the ticket, Edwards would move to spot #1. Would a ticket with 2 single-term Senators work? Probably not. Barring some great secret, it would be difficult to pry Edwards off the ticket.

Thus, the October surprise now seems moot. It would seem most likely that Hillary has written off 2004, expects (and may even help coordinate) a Kerry-Edwards loss, and has clear sailing to 2008.

Unless GWB's numbers plummet to the low 40's, it would seem Hillary may bypass 2004.

Be prepared for Bush to counter with Giuliani or McCain as his running mate. Probably McCain because he's viewed as strong on defense but also diplomatic. Go W Go!! Edwards will not help Kerry much in the South because he's not the presidential candidate!

So Kerry picks the guy he said was far too inexperienced to be president. Did he lie then, or is he playing politics over national interest? Could be both I guess.

No surprise here.

This was decided back when Edwards was invited to the Bildergroup meeting a couple months back.

You know, that group that only exists in the minds of us tinfoil hat folks?

Good news. Kerry and the democrats put too much stock in Edward's looks and not enough stock in experience. They went with a good looks idea. Not a good thing for Kerry - He is so totally inexperienced in foreign affairs and only has had one term in the Senate. Cheney will blow this guy away.

Oh great.

One of the most liberal Senators in the US Senate teams up with a very left-leaning former trial lawyer. In the end, this ticket may turn off a lot of voters because you know they may end up pandering to the Michael Moore ultra-Left crowd.

RUT ROH:

Two weeks ago I posted an article from the American Spectator about how Union leaders are really upset with Kerry because Kerry promised them that Gephardt would be the VP. They were furious that he was even interviewing other candidates.

As the Prowler reported six weeks ago, the AFL-CIO has been telling supporters this Rep. Dick Gephardt was basically a lock as the vice presidential selection. Increasingly, union bosses have been hearing the Gephardt is no longer in the running.

"Gephardt better damn well be the pick," says an AFL-CIO lobbyist. "We've done too much for Kerry to get screwed this way. A governor from Iowa ain't going to cut it for our membership. It's been tough enough selling Kerry to some of our people."

This will give sKerry a bump in the polls just because people like new things - though these days, only for about 10 minutes. Edwards will remind everyone of the last car salesman they felt swindled by, or else the last TV preacher who tricked their grandma out of her last $20 bucks. He's slimey.

Remember the "you can buy a muffler with the Bush tax cut" presentation Daschle used?

Edwards made his fortune from class action litigations, sort of the same deal. He made millions on class action cases where the class action plaintiffs each got like $52 or whatever.

And how about the litigation files in those cases? I bet he took some pretty outrageous positions on brief in those cases.

I'm very surprised by the choice. Edwards stance on Tort Reform is going to play well for the President's reelection.
