Reply #15: I like Edwards but he only served one term in [View All]

the Senate and missed a lot of votes because he was campaigning for president and then as VP on the Kerry ticket. I think he was campaigning for three years (isn't everybody?) and that his absences/lack of experience in government would hurt him.

Then there's the sentiment that a president should have experience governing and that's why former governors get elected. Maybe Edwards would be best as a VP with a more experienced person, like Bill Richardson, who's been a governor and held other positions in federal government. Plus he's Hispanic, which can't hurt. I don't know enough yet about Richardson to say I think he's our guy, though.

I WANT Dennis Kucinich for president but I'm thinking I'd vote for "Anybody But Hillary" at this point.
