Edwards: "For 51 years, I've been myself and it's worked pretty well"

From tonight's 60 Minutes interview:

"I have a vision for this country which is consistent and completely compatible with John's vision," says Edwards.

"I've seen people be president. I've worked with presidents. I understand talent and ability," adds Kerry. "I also know that this man is eight years older than Jack Kennedy was when he became president of the United States. He is more qualified, more prepared in national affairs and national issues than George Bush was when he became president. He is ready. And I chose him because he's ready."

So how does Edwards plan to handle Cheney in a debate? He says he's going to be himself.

"For 51 years, I've been myself and it's worked pretty well," says Edwards, who adds that he's going to be polite and tough. "I'll be tough because there's so much at stake for this country. The voters of America need to know what the differences are between us."

It's got only 12 votes and an average of 2.75... so rate it!

2. Good line. And he needs to keep putting it out there that he's 51

cause he looks like he's 40. What a team! Great pic.

4. I liked this comment JE made about *'s campaign ads...

"No. 1, you've been president of the United States for four years. You've spent $80, 90, 100 million on television - almost all of it talking about your not-yet-nominated opponent? What does that say about your administration and its accomplishments," says Edwards.

Thanks for the link!

5. He is right!

The attacks will not stop - he will spend a fortune here in NC on those ads, disgusting.
