*whew*

Kerry picks Edwards as running mate.

Thank _god_. I make fun of Edwards a lot (although it's not his fault he looks like a cross between John Ritter and Sam Neil), but I think this was the right choice. Edwards has a liveliness that's necessary to offset the dry humour and grim countenance of Kerry, he appeals to the right states, and he doesn't scream "unpleasant Washington insider" in the way Gephardt always has.

Plus he can talk to dead people, and that's a big plus in a veep.

And of course the headline for the NY Post today is "KERRY'S CHOICE: Kerry Picks Gephardt."

Gotta love the Post.

I thought John Edwards was a good choice too. And I could never figure out who he reminded me of, until I read your very accurate description of the cross between Ritter and Neil.
