#1 He would offer awesome hair to any ticket.

#2 Beyond the fact that Edwards had no experience than (and barely any now) he probably would have made a better choice than Lieberman in 2000. The 2000 election was pre-Sept 11 and Lieberman's real additions with strong defense weren't seen as a strong point. And Edwards had charisma that Liberman lacked.

The reverse is also true. Lieberman would have helped the Kerry campaign. He wouldn't have overshadowed Kerry the way Edwards did and would have pumped up the military bonified.

Of course we have to assume the left wouldn't have turned on him by then.
