Two words and Edwards is toast: TRIAL LAWYER!
To: kattracks
One of the longest paragraphs on the Web site is devoted to the apparently noteworthy fact that Edwards has visited every one of North Carolina's 100 counties Chasing ambulances involves a lot of travel.

<< Hillary Clinton's year is 2008. >>
For what?
Leavenworth, finally?
Prediction: Every one of: Soddom Hisson; Gerhardt Schroeder and Kim Ll-jung will be president of the US before the loathesome and fearsome Hitlery Rodman-KKli-toon gets within spitting distance of being even a post-primaries candidate for that office.

He is a trial lawyer. What do you bet by the time he gets on CNN he will be called by the new, politically correct title, consumer attorney?

I see Kerry. Edwards is a young Barney Fife.
Throw in Hillary as VP and it's a good ticket for the morons.
The dems never sleep... they're like rust.

Senator from Mayberry shouldn't alarm Dubya It's premature to be alarmed, but at the same time it's risky to dismiss Edwards. He has near-zero experience for such a hefty job, but I don't exactly have a huge amount of faith that the electorate would be distressed about that. He's a trial lawyer, which is bad, a group that most people abhor, but with his looks and harmless demeanor, it'll be a challenge to portray him as just another predator in a predatory profession. You can bet the little girl in the swimming pool incident will be brought up again and again. He's a political lightweight to be sure, but as we've seen with his position on judiciary, he can play hardball. He might implode later on, but in my view he's the only candidate who's the most threatening at this point--sure he might lose his own state where people know him best and don't like what they see, but some of the other southern states won't have that 'priviledge' and might go for him.

"Chasing ambulances", you're pretty sharp this AM. Good one.
To: gop_gene
Every time I see John Edwards, I think of the villian in "The Dead Zone". That's enough of a reason to not like the guy.
By the way, wasn't the actor who played the villian in the movie "The Dead Zone" the same actor who plays the president in "West Wing"?

But unlike Robin Hood, Edwards kept a good share of the loot, making him a multimillionaire."
Ah! Just another boy from Robbin's Hood robbing hoods....

I'm not a fan of Edwards either, but he has about as much experiance as Dubyah did in 2000. If experiance was the major criterion for election Gore would be President.
Thank God he ain't!

Before this Mayberry analogy goes too far and the Left starts portraying Edwards in the character of Andy Taylor, we need to remind them that there was also Goober, Gomer, Ernest T. Bass, Floyd the Barber, Barney Fife, and the drunk who locked himself in a cell with an explosive goat.
To: KJMorgan
I think it'll be a GOVERNOR from the South or Midwest that'll threaten Bush the most. 1st term Senators don't do too well. Most of the credible Southern Democrat Governors were taken out.
Which leads me to Bob Graham - he was a 2 term Governor before becoming Senator.

and the drunk who locked himself in a cell with an explosive goat. That would be Otis.
To: BJungNan
he can run with Gloria Allred in the veep spot...
To: Russell Scott
As a personal-injury lawyer, he has taken from the rich and given to the poor.Bzzzt. NOT. We know who pays for all those personal injury lawsuits. That's right,
"The People", Mr. "People's Senator".

Thank you. I can't decide which character was my favorite.
