Hillary would have been the easiest to negatively define, but she would have eclipsed Kerry. Edwards will be easy to attack for a host of reasons. I am glad that Kerry didn't select a Sam Nunn who would have presesnted some real problems in terms of competence on national security issues.
Sam Nunn was the ONLY RAT that I was concerned about but heard sometime ago that he would NEVER run with Kerry but who knows.
This must have been the hour he chose Edwards since his own wife said he changed his mind on the VP candidate by the time of day. Morning must have been Edwards! But then Kerry is #2 as Teresa said she would give all her money back to have her first Senator husband back alive recently. Kerry cannot even get a break with his own wife and has a hard time making up his mind.
Edwards is probably the one pick he could have made that has very little mind of his own not to mention a trial lawyer! Remember the Edwards people from the Dean blog -- they hated Kerry and wanted the Dean supporters to go to Edwards not Kerry.
You're right... however I think a guy like Nunn would be committing suicide with a rusty spoon after a couple of days with Kerry :o)
