Subject: A few words about Edwards as a VP pick.

A few days ago John Kerry stood here in Pittsburgh, the heart of the rust belt, and announced John Edwards as his running mate.

John Edwards, the one-term Senator with no experience.

John Edwards, the man Kerry himself said (during the primaries) was not qualified to be President (one can assume that also means unqualified to be VP).

Edwards - the man who lied about his voting record during the primaries.

Edwards, the populist who made a fortune as a trial lawyer (how that ties in with populism I'll never understand).

Sadly, Edwards will probably help the Kerry campaign. Thus far Kerry has run on the "Anybody But Bush" idiocy which pervades liberal culture. That will run out of steam before the elections of course, so Kerry needed a boost that Gephardt couldn't give him and John McCain and Hillary Clinton wouldn't give him.

One last thought, a funny quote from this weeks frontpage article in The Economist: "One reason why there is no danger of Mr Edwards contradicting Mr Kerry is beacause it is not clear what Kerryism is."

Of course it's only funny if Kerry loses.
