Kerry-Edwards!!!!!!

Well, I'm overjoyed by the pick. I think it brings excitement to the ticket, that NC is now is play, and that Edwards will provide greater dividends for Kerry in the midwest and other swing states that Gephardt would have. Gephardt = yesterday. Edwards = tomorrow. And, as Bill Clinton is fond of saying, every election is about the future.

I was following the rumor mill this weekend over the Internet and was convinced by Monday morning that it was going to be Gephardt, unfortunately. Then I learned about Edwards leaving his family's vacation in Disney World and traveling to DC to meet with Edwards last Thursday. By the end of yesterday I was cautiously optimistic that it would be Edwards.

The GOP is saying that Edwards is Kerry's "second choice," after McCain, a pretty ironic argument, considering who the true "second choice" in American VP politics is: George Bush in 1980, after a "Dream Ticket" of Reagan and Gerald Ford evaporated.
