Veep! Veep veep veep!

I know it is an amazing shock, but within minutes of John Kerry Picking John Edwards as his VP candidate, the right wing has latched onto their talking points. Three different webpages went with the “It’s an all trial lawyer ticket” attack, which I don’t think will have any traction, and Drudge says it was all manipulation by Hillary Clinton, who HE picked as the VP last night (and magically, that article has vanished like the morning dew).

My own opinion is that Edwards would do as well as VP as just about anyone, he’s a Southerner, and he just shot the latest Bush ad out of the water, which accused the Democrats of being negative. Edwards is so ruthlessly positive it can get a bit overwhelming.

Why do I like him? He announced his Presidential Candidacy on “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central. That’s a pretty gutsy thing to do.
