Edwards is all washed up but on an endless spin cycle.
It's a real old one, but it has been used to make many a point. ;)
...a Classic!
doesnt matter who kerry picked, he would have lost regardless because the American people understood what John Kerry was all about and rejected it!
Let's see. Kerry-Edwards lost. Edwards wasn't permitted to campaign seriously. He doesn't seem to me any better positioned than Dennis Kucinich.
Al Franken? That guy is blessed with an ego even more over-inflated than Michael Moore (who's already called to impeach the President).
He's DOA. He couldn't run for re-election here (N.C.) because he is such a loser of a senator. (He was absent more than Kerry thus his nickname "Senator Gone")
I suggest he go where all failed Dem canadates end up- to the bored of Apple Computer.
I'll never understand why a visionary such as Steve Jobs is such a liberal. Oh well, at least the Army created a supercomputer out of a string of G5s harnessing his technology for good and not evil. Oh yeah, Rush uses Apples too. You know that's gotta burn Jobs up!
We need to make sure his hair styling video stays around for his next run.
2008 is Hitlery's turn. After that, it will simply be too hard for him to keep fresh in people's minds.
You are incorrect.
Historically, losing VP candidates very often ascend to the front-runner status for the next election cycle.
Muskie in 72 (was losing VP candidate in 68)
Lodge in 64 (was losing VP candidate in 60)
Mondale in 84 (was losing VP candidate in 80)
Dole in 80 (was losing VP candidate in 76)
I saw that too. For one moment he had a fleeting expression on his baby face that was just evil personified.
Nope, John Edwards is the dead politician who talks to dumb people on tv.
As a farewell, I propose that NC FReepers form a kazoo band to play "Hail to the Chief" when he runs again.
But that's exactly why the best thing we, as Freepers could do to would be to start and maintain a boomlet for Edwards..Wouldn't it be neat to develop a campaign for hi now..? I see by your home page that you're into computer stuff..I ain't..Can you see if "Edwards 2008", or "Edwards08!" or somesuch is available. We should grab it..elect a comittee chair. and start generating, and mailoing out press releases..<P.
Off topic.. prayers for his wife..
They will still go after the younger voters, the ones who are 14 now and will be voting age by the time the next election rolls around, plus the sour-grapes-liberal-college-types. Brainwashing is their stock in trade. They will poison many minds. Stay vigilant in prayer. This is a just reprieve from disaster. We have to instruct our high school age children not to fall for the lies.
He may have a difficult time finding a physician to treat his wife for breast cancer.
Prayers out for her. First she's been married to Jedwards --and now this....
Let's go back to 1984, when Walter Mondale lost a historic landslide against Reagan after he was on Carter's abysmal ticket in 1980 (which may be the primary reason why no losing VP candidate has had much of a career in national politics since then).
1. Geraldine Ferraro (1984) was being interviewed on NBC on Election Night this week, and I swear it was the first time I had even seen her on television since 1984. Her political career was over on election night in 1984.
2. Lloyd Bentsen (1988) managed to resurrect his political career, but only through a cabinet appointment as Bill Clinton's first treasury secretary.
3. Dan Quayle (1992) made a lame attempt to stay relevant in 1996, but he couldn't even beat out a dull, uninspiring candidate like Bob Dole in the GOP primaries.
4. Jack Kemp (1996). Who is that?
5. Joe Lieberman (2000) came back in the Democratic primaries in 2004 and made history by being the only former VP candidate ever to garner fewer votes than Dennis Kucinich and Al Sharpton.
I rest my case. LOL.
Edwards would be roadkill on Hillary'sroad to the White House.
Is this from The Onion?
Edwards thinks he can run in 2008 saying "I won a Senate race in North Carolina 10 years ago, and haven't won anything since, but I'd make a really good presidential candidate"? And in 4 years he may have a receding hairline, taking away the one attribute that he brought to the Kerry campaign.
But maybe I'm wrong, and Edwards will be just as successful in inspiring a groundswell of support for a presidential run as were other recent vice presidential candidates who were defeated: Geraldine Ferraro, Lloyd Bentsen, Dan Quayle, Jack Kemp and Joe Lieberman.
A guy who did nothing for the 2004 ticket, who has no office for the next four years and no political base, who couldn't even take his home state, thinks he has a shot at 2008??? Hillary will make him road kill.
