Ladies and gentlemen, the ticket is complete. Now we enter a period of intense speculation about (and Republican scrutiny of) Edwards and his potential to swing voters uncertain about Kerry's presidential merits. As with Al Gore--who I generally liked but whose flaws were major and obvious--I am not convinced Kerry is the perfect man to lead this nation. But there is not a shred of doubt in my mind he is the far lesser of two evils. Monumentally lesser. Besides, when in our history has there ever been a perfect man for the job? He simply does not exist.
As far as most Americans are concerned, the key word going into this election is change. It is sadly apparent that this country has never been more desperately in need of change and intelligent leadership than now and I strongly believe in the new slogan: Kerry-Edwards. A stronger America.
I, for one, have experienced a rollercoaster ride of wildly mixed emotions since seeing Fahrenheit 9/11: extreme disheartenment regarding the state of our nation coupled with increasing optimism and faith that my fellow Americans won't allow another four years of bullying and deceit.
Let the games begin.

Posted by: Amir at July 9, 2004 11:31 AMKerry would've been a fool to select someone other than Edwards. I'm not too hot on the idea of the two, but in light of the past four years, I think we the people are ready to go back to what were were before November 2000. If 'electability' is the issue, then Edwards as VP is the best choice.
