| #12 Unfortunately, NC has gained alot of liberal Northerners since I last lived here and, like my boss from Mass just love the slick one and skerry. Maybe Democrat voters should ask themselves if they like the idea of lawyers doing their bypass surgery or delivering their infant grandchildren or diagnosing and treating their cancer. Because that's who will be left to do the "doctoring" 20 years from now after Edwards and Kerry ruin our health care system. Well, there'd also be the affirmative action med school graduates or the foreign doctors given accreditation as the other "doctoring" choices.. Seriously folks, even Democrat voters, no matter how much they hate Bush as most do, should recognize that the Kerry-Edwards ticket will bring in sub-optimal one size fits all socialized medicine, deplete the already declining ranks of applicants to medical school, and cause early retirement of practising doctors. Tell your Democrat friends and business associates to think about their health and their families' health before voting in a personal injury lawyer and a failed public prosecutor into the Oval Office. Democrat voters may not worry about global terrorism, because that concept is "so out there" for them to comprehend. But their health care or lack thereof...now that they may care about. |

| #11 Jarhead...how true! I moved back to NC 5 years ago and almost everyone I know can't stand Edwards and the word is that he would not have been reelected to the senate had he run again. My brother was in Texas a few months ago and a cab driver started talking to him and in the course of the conversation said how impressed he was with Edwards. My brother, who doesn't usually espouse his political opinions on people he doesn't know let the guy know in no uncertain terms what he and many people in NC thought of Edwards. "Slick trial lawyer who made millions off the woes of little people" Unfortunately, NC has gained alot of liberal Northerners since I last lived here and, like my boss from Mass just love the slick one and skerry. |

| #10 I just moved back to the Tarheel State after 3 years in S.C., Rex is correct, plus, most of the N.C. folks I know don't care for Edwards. Not to mention they don't like trial lawyers or people who are weak on guns (thank God). |

| #9 Edwards voice/accent is like a dull razor against a rock More to the point, Edwards' socialist redistribution of wealth message causes the listener mental stress and anguish. Let's be honest, folks, Edwards' greatest asset to Kerry as a running mate is Edwards' youthful,pretty boy looks [as opposed to a more middle aged realist look that Cheney sports]. Edwards may win over some undecided female voters or gay male voters. Winning the southern vote is more iffy because Edwards barely won his own election - Southerners do not like the DNC's one world government position when the nation is at war. Southerners' children are in great numbers in the military. |

| #8 Edwards voice/accent is like a dull razor against a rock when one is trying to sleep, it goes on and on and on. How about some accent reduction classes? Think of that as president, or worse Kerry! |

| #6 The radical left's choice would have been Ted K. Kaczynski, not Kennedy. |

#5 John J. Miller at National Review's "The Corner:"Let's not finish the morning without reflecting on the implications of Kerry-Edwards for Hillary. A Democratic victory in the fall, of course, all but removes her from the 2008 presidential picture. (Unless she challenges in the primaries, a la Ted Kennedy in 1980--wouldn't that be fun?) If the Dems lose, however, Edwards almost certainly is vaulted into the top tier of 2008 contenders. The only thing stopping him would be an absolutely miserable performance over the next five months--something involving a physical attack Dick Cheney during the veep debate or crack smoking in public. Odds are Edwards would have been a much-talked-about guy anyway, given his second-place showing in this year's primaries. Bottom line: He ultimately may become the one guy who can stop Hillary from the Dem nomination in 2008. So it's a down-arrow for HRC today. |

| #4 John Kerry walks into a bar. The bartender looks at him and says, "Why the long face"? (rimshot) |

| #2 Bush can punch a hole in this one at will. Just name a new CIA chief and all of the nation's attention will flee to news of real interest. This story will implode like a tomato sinking to the ocean floor. |
