I seem to remember this guy from one of those "late in the news hour desperate fill-up slot 7 minute reports" on Channel 4 news (or possibly Newsnight) a couple of months ago, put forward as the supposed Democrat front runner for 2004.Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

Exactly. The VP can fill in for up to 2 years for the previous president without it counting as one of his two terms. Thus 10 years instead of 8 years is the theoretical max.

Edwards is young. I don't think he is seriously running for President. He just wants to get his name out there so he can win in 2008."Yay Apoc!!!!!!!" - bipolarbear

Hillary can't win. Try as she might she just has such a negative image in most of the country that she DOA in any presidential bid.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Politics is the art of the possible and it is quite possible for Edwards to get the Democratic nomination.
Like it was quite possible for Elizabeth Dole to get the Republican nomination in 2000?
Yeah, it looks nice now, but in a year people will ask if anyone thought Edwards had a chance. He's a first term Senator, without any leadership positions, and it isn't like he has other political experience, he was a trial lawyer. He won't get the nod.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Edwards has been in office for four years. It will be five plus by the time the election rolls around.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Which is not enough... especially since he is a Senator and not a Governor. Even a first term Governor would have little to no shot.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Edwards is 49. This is exactly the right age to run for president. Clinton, after all, was re-elected when he was 49.
Simply based on his age, I would suggest that Edwards has to be ranked among the favorites, not among the dark horses.http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=en

Sure..... if you overlook everything else that matters in politics.
He would be a good Veep material, but NO WAY a President. He couldn't get close to knocking off Kerry (who is the actual favorite... no matter what the Hillary numbers are) or Libermann.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I'd say Libermann is in front of Kerry simply because he's going to be inheriting Gore's, and thus Clinton's, campaign money raising machine.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Yeah, but it ain't his 'turn'. Kerry is the man in the light right now. It's kinda like Dole in '96. The whole idea of letting the man have his chance in the sun.
And Kerry is more powerful in the party.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I don't remember Bill Clinton being "the man in the light" or being powerful in the Democratic Party before he won the nomination in '92. Seems some of us are forgetting our history. And why would anyone use Dole as an example of how to pick a candidate? Ughh...
I'd say Libermann is in front of Kerry simply because he's going to be inheriting Gore's, and thus Clinton's, campaign money raising machine.
Edwards has the support of the DLC and Clinton himself, so I think it is far more likely that he will inherit Clinton's fundraising machine and political advice. It's happening right now, if the rumors floating around are true.KH FOR OWNER!
ASHER FOR CEO!!
GUYNEMER FOR OT MOD!!!
