Edwards helped Kerry by showing that they don't have to put up with shit

[JI7]

i saw a clip of the 60 minutes and the part on iraq. kerry as usual always tries to answer, even after he has answered the whores keep asking and he continues trying to explain.

but edwards put an end to it and pretty much said we already answered this. he showed you don't have to put up with that media whore shit.

these are the same fools who are letting bush get away without answering for what he does.

1. Like it or not, it's moments like this that make me think they know what..

.. they're doing.

Although I supported Clark and Edwards in the primaries, my support for Veep was behind Edwards, simply because we needed a political pro in that spot to go up against the ultra-talented Republican smear machine. Edwards, for my money, really showed his political strength in the 60 Minutes spot tonight.

I really think that the media has their hands full with Edwards so much, that they just don't know what to make of him. I think this will all work out to our great political advantage, especially as the Edwards/Cheney comparisons really begin to flesh out.

Nice roll-out, Kerry/Edwards!

2. Kerry has been in the senate a very long time

so i think that's why he tends to fall into the debate or argumentative mode sometimes. rather than putting an end to it he sometimes just continues debating things. he doesn't do it much anymore, especially when campaigning. but i think in formal settings he might get back into it.

i think others would have made great vps also. but i think kerry seems to get along with edwards better and rather than being put off by edwards positives as many on here tried to claim kerry would be. he embraces edwards for all his positives. those of us who supported kerry always said he is comfortable being himself and would not feel threatened by others. kerry wants what is best for the country and himself .

3. Edwards' trial lawyer experience serves him well too. n/t

5. Yep. I thought so too!

.
It was like he was dealing with another lawyer, instead of a journalist.

"I've already answered that 10 times, what more do you want?" says he.

Heh.

4. Edwards knows how to answer questions and I hope he is the...

...one to campaign for us south of the Mason-Dixon line. I don't think he will ever be accused of "using a lot of words to not say anything."

6. yes, i'm glad Kerry went with the southern strategy
