32. This is exactly right...
And it had nothing to do with bias media towards Edwards. There was a feeling from NH onward that Edwards would be a great VP. Democrats responded to his message and liked his stands on jobs, economy, health care, but they wanted someone with more experience. The vote went to Kerry, but Kerry and Edwards were very close on the issues.

There has been expectations from nearly the beginning that it would be a Kerry/Edwards ticket. The problem is if Kerry doesn't pick Edwards as VP, what position will Edwards hold to keep him active in politics for a future with the Democratic party? He gave up his Senate Seat. What held him back was lack of experience. I hope that Kerry finds a place for Edwards because I think it would be a great loss for the Democratic party if we lost him for the future.
