Edwards as Veep

Cnn:

Sen. John Kerry has chosen his colleague and former presidential rival Sen. John Edwards as his running mate for the 2004 presidential election. Kerry announced the choice at a rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, telling the cheering crowd that Edwards is "a man who understands and defends the values of America."

I was surprised that Kerry picked Edwards. I felt that Kerry wouldn't want someone who was so obviously more charismatic than him on the ticket. Guess I was wrong. John Edwards really did impress me as a candidate this year however. He is obviously articulate and energetic.
