The Edwards misfire
Does anyone else think Kerry is kicking himself for buying into the MSM's collective orgasm over John Edwards? As near as I can tell, Edwards brought exactly zero to the campaign! He was no help in the South, and as soon as he was picked, he went AWOL from the campaign trail, just like he had done when he was elected to the senate.
Remember the New York Post's famously wrong headline claiming that Kerry had picked Dick Gephardt? I think the Post was guilty of giving Kerry too much credit. But what if the New York Post had been right? What if Kerry had ignored the hype, and picked Gephardt? No Swift Vets, no flip-flops, tough on the war, carried Missouri, Iowa and probably Ohio....
One shudders to think.
