Likes Edwards

Your comment about John Edwards’ headlines are asinine. According to you, the announcement about his choice should not appear in the headlines because you know of no one who ever voted for or against a presidential candidate (based on his choice of a running mate).

First, how many people have you polled? You are merely parroting someone else’s opinion.

The questions raised about Cheney focus more attention on the vice presidential candidate. Furthermore, voters may be influenced by the vice presidential candidate and that may influence their choice.

I believe you don’t like either Edwards or Kerry and therefore you express a political cliché.

I suggest you stick to what you know, which I doubt is very much.

Editor’s note: Actually, I think Edwards was an excellent choice, probably the best one Kerry could have made. But I also think the election will come down to Bush vs. Kerry and that Cheney and Edwards count for very little.
