Kerry made a huge mistake. He chose popularity over experience. Edwards will goof up big time - Just watch. He may be okay on the campaign trail with all those women oooooing and ahhhhing but when he comes into the studio and has to sit down and hash it out - he's going to screw up BIG TIME! Kerry should have chose Gephardt - Gephardt had over 20 years of experience in the Senate. Just look at the lookwarm response in the media.

I believe Gephardt was in the House not the Senate...but even so, this election has become dangerous in this sense: it is very clear that Kerry is not a serious enough person to handle the Presidency. We may have thought he was wrong and vacillating, but "not serious" is a charge that has yet to be brought.

His pick of Edwards emphasises his lack of seriousness. Kerry's campaign floats on a meandering cloud of media spin, picking up the next latest enthusiasm without thinking of the consequences it may entail. He picked John Edwards. God forbid, if Kerry should win, he would have placed someone that he himself described as too inexperienced for the post, to be second in line, merely on the basis of the media's passing fancy, not on the basis of the good of the country. Or the world, for that matter.

He must be defeated, and soundly.
