Kerry's Number 2 Is a Number One Choice

By Arianna Huffington, AlterNet. Posted July 7, 2004.


Five reasons why John Edwards is the perfect choice – and will leave Dick Cheney dropping the F-bomb.

John Kerry and John Edwards in Pittsburgh on July 7, 2004.
The choice of John Edwards as No. 2 on the Democratic ticket is the first great decision of the Kerry presidency – a mature, self-confident choice that bodes well for the Kerry campaign as it kicks into high gear.

It wasn't based on looking at a map and trying to figure out who could deliver the most Electoral College votes. It wasn't based on who Kerry felt most comfortable hanging out with.

It was based on who was the best choice for the country.

Instead of picking a running mate who had the strongest resume, Kerry picked the one who had the strongest vision for the country – a vision that can help Kerry bring heart and soul back to American politics.

Here are five things about John Edwards that should be sending a cold shiver down Karl Rove's spine right about now:

3. She's been pulling for Edwards since Day 2

Once Kerry got the nomination, that is.

I really love Arianna, but I have to question her campaign advice after she failed to get any serious traction in the California Election, where I was supporting her until she dropped out.

All the same, keep it up!

4. "Arianna...is that you?"

That's what I posted right here on DU the first time I read one of her articles since her emergence from "the darkness". I thought maybe it was a parody until a DU-er filled me in on her "conversion."

Edwards has made a very successful career out of eating folks like Dick Cheney for lunch in courtrooms all across America. He'll know exactly how to wield Halliburton like a stiletto. I give Cheney 30 minutes before he drops his first F-bomb...
So THAT'S what all this "he's a trial lawyer" whining is about! If his main job duty is going to be investigating Halliburton and war profiteering, he truly WILL be the Bush regime's worst nightmare! I have seen the light, Arianna--and by the way, since you've "joined" us, you've NEVER looked better, sweetie darling!
