OT Breck Boy

It's official. Kerry has chosen John Edwards as his running mate.

I don't see how Edwards is going to help. The South is a cold lock
cinch for Shrub, so he's no help there, the battleground states are
Pennsylvania, Ohio, maybe Michigan, rust belt states where the Dems
have to get out the union vote. A lot of those folks can't even
understand one drawled word Breck Boy says and don't cotton to
ultra-rich "populists" at any rate.

Big tactical error, in my opinion. He should have gone with Gephardt.

That assumes that Gebhardt would have gone with Kerry. I said yesterday
that Kerry was testing Gebhardt's honor, and it appears he still has it.
Contrary to what some say, I am well-aware that there are Dems with
ethics, honor, and a sense of right and wrong...and again, as long as
Attila McAuliffe, the Clintonistas, the Gorons, the Carvellians, etc.,
are in charge of the party, they'll not get into the Oval Office...a
Gebhardt-Dean (but not a Dean-Gebhardt) ticket might have actually been
good for the country, and a ticket of Gebhardt and McCain (in no
particular order), might have been a real winner (and in more ways then
votes)...well, except for McAuliffe, etc.

And as an aside, the Kerry-Heinz clan and the Edwards family, those real
solid, knows-what-the-middle-class-is-feeling, common families are
spending some time together...at the Heinz estate...

And as a second aside, I don't know a lot about Edwards, but from what I
do know, he appears to be more politically "big picture" naive than
without honor or ethics, but I am interested to see what the future
holds when the RNC starts replaying Kerry's slams of Edwards...

Hopefully, the image of Cheney being carted away in handcuffs will null
that out!

Um, OK...and maybe the image of Nick and Jessica buying groceries will
have something to do with something, too...

Just trying to point out, (through free association, granted) that this
election will be a mandate on whether or not the American public will stand
for the secret government that this administration has been trying to run.
For me, Cheney is at the very center of this initiative, beginning with the
witholding of the attendees at his energy commission meetings.

Since Cheney is declining to release the rosters, I feel I'm justified in
assuming that the roster would not be flattering to the administration.

It doesn't matter.....

Why not?

Because this election is about pro-Bush / anti-Bush, not about the other
candidates.

IMO Edwards will boost Kerry the way picking Gore boosted Clinton. A
handsome face, poor-southern-boy-made-good (differing from Gore here,
obviously), miles clear of shady ethics rumors. I don't think most voters
see too much difference between rich and ultra-rich, or parse the the
distinction between populist and 'populist.' Heck, some good ol' boys I know
consider GWB a populist, tho this seems to be because he's so...
unsophisticated. As someone suggested above, the focus if any will be on
Edwards vs. Cheney, and Edwards wins there on just about any count.

BWAHAHAHAHA! Hilarious!

I still think Shrub ditches Cheney and goes with Guiliani...
