Cheney will crush Edwards intellectually in any debate, but he comes of as a nastier crueler scrooge compared to Edwards prettyboy image.
It depends. Remember 2000's debates where Cheney and Lieberman both came across as intelligent and friendly people.

Well its not like Cheney going to tell Edwards to go F*ck himself?

Lord, I whish it was Richardson instead of this vapid prettyboy.
I agree that Richardson would have been an excellent pick. Democrats should find him a national stage.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
Edwards was the smartest pick for Kerry. It's not about Edwards' intelligence or experience, it's about his appeal to voters at large. Having a young, energetic populist on the ticket is going to be a big plus, especially when he's compared to stodgy, fat old Dick Cheney. I'd equate this to Clinton's pick of Gore in 1992, which was a great move at the time.

That's becuase they were so like minded in many ways, and it was prior to all the real rancor to follow.
Compare Cheney saying how good it feel to tell people to **** off and the inevitable questions in any debate about his WMD statements (I would love them to play that clip from the Daily Show were they catch him lying) and Edwards.
The accusation of ill-trained trial lawyer does not look too bad compared to corrupt, evil foulmouthed bastard.

Like I said, he doesn't make even 1 state competitive.
From May:
If the presidential election were held this month, North Carolinians would choose President Bush over Sen. John Kerry in large numbers - unless Sen. John Edwards was on the ticket, too, according to a new statewide poll.
Bush handily beat Kerry 48 percent to 41 percent in a Mason-Dixon poll released yesterday.
But with Edwards as Kerry's vice-presidential running mate, the race tightens to a statistical dead heat - 46 percent to 45 percent.
Not that Kerry will necessarily win NC, but if Bush has to dump money in southern states because they now lean red rather than being solid red...

What bothers me about this is that the choosing of a VP candidate is not normally based on whether they would be a decent president (if necessary) but whether they are 'popular', 'have hair', or can help carry a swing state.
Its all ****!
At least Bush picked a intelligent guy with experience.
