The rest of the world, with the exception of a a few right wing heads of government, is hoping for dear life that Bush won't be President nest year.

John Edwards was kind of an unimaginative choice since just about everyone has been throwing his name around as a possibility since the primaries. Therefore no "new" energy injected into the enery-hungry Kerry campaign.
How's this for irony? Although Kerry has been selected to possibly help in the South, I predict that Kerry-Edwards will not win North Carolina, or ANY southern state.
Yeah, he is a pretty boy. Ironically, he is the first candidate for pres or vp I can think of that has an obese wife. Barbara Bush was large, but I don't think she was fat. Tipper was a little chubby, but cute.
