Janie...thanks for some interesting 'local' perspective on Edwards. That's the kind of information we should be getting on all the candidates.
I do think becoming president automatically gives one some built-in organization and staff that can help overcome certain weaknesses...and Senate conformation can weed out some other bad choices....though it would be awkward.
I hope Edwards improves, no matter what he's doing next year.....it sure would be nice to have your worries prove groundless, huh?

I 'can' see Edwards in some sort of advisory or cabinet post if he is not on the ticket. "Secretary of Righteous Indignation" perhaps...or has Kucinich got that one tied up?
