Domestic Bliss

I went to a John Edwards event on Friday at a community college in Maryland. His stump speech was exactly as advertised and he's very impressive in person. I had one critique though, and I'm surprised his advisors haven't discussed this with him.

There was no mention of terrorism or national security at all. The closest he came was to criticize Bush for acting unilaterally in Iraq and hurting our international standing. But considering inexperience in that area is already his weakness, I'm surprised that he wouldn't counter that a little bit with some strong rhetoric.

That being said, he'd be an unbelievable asset to the Kerry ticket as VP, since Kerry clearly has that national security experience and could benefit from Edwards' down-home populism. One website already has that idea.
