I'm not worried about Edwards' impact at all, at least in the long term. He'll provide a huge boost for the rest of this month, and probably through the convention, but that will soon revert back to normal after the Republican convention.
On top of that, all the GOP needs to do is paint this ticket out to be a "far left liberal ticket" and it'll isolate the independents. I mean think about it- you've got the only 2 guys in congress who were as liberal as Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton. That'll DEFINITELY strengthen the far left support of Kerry, along with hardcore Democrats; but this is something that should have taken place already.
The real loss for this ticket is going to be in the center, where the Republicans can make a serious gain during the convention. They've got Arnold, Giuliani, McCain, and even Democrat Zell Miller speaking. If people tune in to that or follow it on the news, that would cater far more to moderates than the Democrats are doing with a Kerry/Edwards ticket (that and the fact that the DNC's schedule doesn't look anywhere near as diverse/moderate).
