Anyone else wish it was Edwards/Kerry instead of Kerry/Edwards?
Just a feeling in my gut that it would be better.

I have a daughter who feels the same way and we're both from Massachusetts.

2. Probably better this way...
Edwards' relative inexperience is much easier to counteract as a VP candidate than as the top guy on the ticket. He's still more experienced than Bush was in 2000, but they could come back with the fact that its a different world post 9/11.

7. Nah
I like Kerry/Edwards. Edwards is awesome, I agree, but he will have his time.

10. Yes
But, there's nothing we can do about it now. If we want Dumbya out of office, we have to settle for Kerry/Edwards and like it.

I voted Edwards in my own state's primary.

12. Nope, it shoud've been
Kucinich/Braun. That would've been a helluva ticket. Both amazing and honest individuals who should've gotten more support from us liberals. I love them.

15. Although I supported Edwards months ago I think Kerry is the right choice
He really is the man who can beat Chimpy.

Whether or not we see indictments after that remains to be seen.

16. I'm still
not convinced that Kerry and Edwards have what it takes. I like them, but with Kucinich and Braun, you knew their positions the minute they spoke and didn't have to dig for it. They are among the two most honorable and respectful politicians I've ever had the privilege to see in my life and I just pray that they have some hand in the Kerry administration. They deserve more than they got and will have my adoration for as long as I live.

20. If you want to see Kucinich in the white house someday
I would let him build up his resume as he plans to because he plans to run for governor or senator, Ive heard that.

25. I hope so.
That man is a godsend to American politics. We have not seen the last from Mr. Kucinich!!!

And I'm convinced that Kerry will give Braun a position in his administration.

19. Amen!
Preach it. He doesn't exactly blow the sunshine up my skirt, but he's still infinitely better than Bush.

23. No, I think this is a great combo
Edwards will get his chance later on.

Now if Kerry/Edwards should lose then I would reconsider who should have been on the top of the ticket!

But I think they have a good chance at winning.

27. No, I don't think so. If nothing else...
"Age before beauty."

Sorry, but in this case I think the "experienced" vibe is more important for the C-in-C.

32. It's over so quickly
Seems like there's no point in following the primaries. By the time it's Florida's turn, it's all over and we have to accept what Iowa and New Hampshire decided.
