Can we save the Edwards campaign?

Edwards would definitely be the strongest Democratic candidate in a general election. The more people in a general election get to know about Edwards, the more they will like him. The more they get to know about Kerry and his voting record, the less they will like him.

NHPolitico,

You're right, that would be a great strategy for Edwards. It would pick up the former Perot independents who are still not satisfied with either party.

Opebo,

You said Edwards is more Liberal than Kerry??? No way. In fact, Edwards is not the least bit "political" at all.

The truth about Edwards is that he's an amoral, ambulance chaser with absolutely no real core beliefs. In other words, he's a less intelligent version of Bill Clinton, though he does seem to have better control of his genitalia than Clinton did, and was a more accomplished attorney.

That being said, an Edwards presidency, like a Clinton presidency, would do FAR less damage to the United States than the election of a pure leftist like Kerry. Edwards has NO beliefs...Kerry has beliefs, but they are at best naive beliefs, and at worse, his approach to foreign policy could bring about the ruination of the United States.

Give me Edwards over Kerry ANY DAY.

Opebo,

Maybe you're right, but I think Edwards could at least be convinced to be somewhat moderate on foreign policy issues. Kerry is locked in "vietnam syndrome" and would be a "we need permission from the United Nations" type leader.
