I hate to interrupt this little Democratic wet dream regarding Edwards as VP, but fact is, the campaign hasn't even started yet.  The VP choice is a temporary bump for the nominee.  Nothing more and nothing less.  People vote for their Presidential preference in the end.  It's always been that way.

Outside of LBJ's giving Kennedy Texas and one or two southern states in 1960, no VP has ever made a difference in the results of a presidential election.

And, if Edwards can't deliver any southern states being himself from the South (he won't, trust me) where exactly is he going to deliver electoral votes?  The answer is nowhere.

Sorry guys, it's going to have to fall on Kerry himself to deliver - a prospect that makes a lot of Dems less than optimistic.
