35. Edwards was the CORRECT choice last time
He had much more of an opportunity to bump an incumbent than a very admirable but standard politician like John Kerry.

Like the networks were reporting last spring during the primaries, Edwards events and speeches were like pep rallies compared to Kerry's, more like a droning professor. Just look at the one post in this thread emphasing that women were asking Edwards to sign their shirts, that Edwards has star quality about him. Precisely. We ignored that at our own peril, lamely handicapping electability in regard to background and not likeability.
