Or maybe jump a dozen cars and throught a hoop of fire while simultaneously skeet shooting, just to enforce the support of all southern demographics.....

or rappel from a helicopter.

You mean Fez will take part in the announcement?

So he chose a vapid moron that brings nothing of substance to help the ticket? I can tell he's really trying to win the election now.

Choosing a vapid moran didn't hurt Bush 1 in 1988.

[Elok]

Newsflash: They were ALL vapid morons. But Edwards is a vapid moron who looks like one of the beach boys, and he seems to be a charming little bugger too. The man was born to be vice-president.

Edwards doesn't even make a state competitive John. Perhaps you could explain what a man who lost to a seneator from Mass on his home turf brings to the table.

I wouldn't consider Kerry a pretty boy by any stretch.

He won his South Carolina, IIRC. The only state he did though.

Like I said, he doesn't make even 1 state competitive.

Ditto. Put a dullard on the ticket... that'll really sway voters in this close election!

Choosing a vapid moran didn't hurt Bush 1 in 1988.

Bush 1 also won by much more that either candidate will. In a close election, a solid Veep pick counts greatly.

But unlike you said, he didn't lose to a senator from Mass on his home turf. He's a much better choice than Gephardt, although Richardson or Graham could have made him more competative in the South.

[Lancer]

Well this is good news.

He did. His home turf is NORTH Carolina, not South Caroline.

The thing is the opposition's VP is also a major, I would say even bigger liability to the first name on the ticket. I mean, Cheney will crush Edwards intellectually in any debate, but he comes of as a nastier crueler scrooge compared to Edwards prettyboy image. And in an age of TV and sound bites, prettyboy wins the image game.
