So I' m drinking my morning coffee, watching Fox News, and boom.....Edwards is picked for the VP. I knew the announcement was coming soon, but I was a bit surprised to see it that early (before the press conf). I think fox actually reported it first, bc all my friends hadnt even heard yet. anyway....it was nice hearing the commentary throughout the day, but im not sure edwards will be the winning factor. what do ya' ll think?

No surprise really, I would have been shocked had he not received the nod. There was so much speculation about alternative running mates, but didn' t think they were going to be realistic VP material. Doubt if he' ll be a major factor either, should work well down south but still reckon Bush will pull the cat out of the bag later in the year.

well there were rumors that hillary was gonna get the nod, then gephardt. if you think about it, edwards is really the long shot as the first term senator. but anyway, fox news had this political strategist on a lil while ago who broke down the outlook of the ticket and she brought up the lack of exp edwards has. good point ya kno?

Could be worse. Could have picked Dan Quayle! (Even though he is Republican) :)

can u guys see how Bush and Sen. John McCain might affect the votes and the battle against Kerry & EDwards? The majority think McCain is a trustworthy guy and he can understand poverty because he was jailed by VietCongs for 7 years.

Bush is still holding on to that crook Cheney, though. McCain is not a factor in any way. Bush would do well to dump Cheney.

McCain always looks like he' s storing acorns in his cheeks, though. :)

lol, yea, i agree with u, Cheney is a failure, and... what' s that with the acorns? I need to see his face
