In his defense, Cheney was a Congressman from Wyoming from 1978-1989. So, he would have been moving his "permanent" residence back to Wyoming. And, for that matter, Wyoming isn't part of the West Coast, anyways... it's a little ways from the ocean, I think Western, yes... West Coast, no.

Re: John Edwards VP Nominee

I think that choosing John Edwards was a good move on the part of Kerry. I agree that it seems to balance out his platform as well.

My long-held wish was for John McCain to be chosen. Imagine a Kerry-McCain ticket. Invincible. Its a pity that McCain has said that he would refuse such a nomination.

He's a trial lawyer, fights against the the big corporations, which is just right for me, and the exact opposite of Bush-Cheney. I have Edwards' biography sitting right here on my desk, I should probably read it soon.
Yeah I know I was kidding.

Not to nitpick, but as a poli sci major, I sometimes like to put what some consider my useless information to good use. McGovern (1972), Ford (1976), Carter (1976), Mondale (1984), Bush (1988), Dukakis (1988), Clinton (1992), Dole (1996), Bush (2000), Gore (2000) were all their respective Parties' nominees who didn't choose the primaries' runner-up for their VP. The only one that comes to mind is of recent history is Reagan picking Bush.

That being said, Kerry's choosing Edwards is a surprise in the sense that nominees who battle it out in the primaries aren't typically paired together down the road. I guess due to personal issues (if you've seen West Wing, we all know what that could lead to: Bartlet & Hoynes), just not the right combination, or fear that the person who you're putting at #2 is a little too ambitious and you KNOW they want to be replace you and be President.

However, I don't think Edwards is a surprise when you look at what he can bring. It's mostly been said so I won't reitterate. All I can say is that I'm very happy. I've had the good fortune of meeting both Senators John Kerry and John Edwards and I can say that they both capitivate the crowd in their own unique way and have differences that complement each other. That's when you know you have a good ticket. As Jeff said, we've been dreaming about a John^2 ticket for a while; I still can't believe that it's happened. Now I can't wait to see the Edwards/Cheney debate. October 5th, mark your calendars! Wow...I feel like such a dork for knowing that offhand.

Btw: take note of the new avatar

Re: John Edwards VP Nominee

There was one southern Democrat who I think would have made a VERY interesting choice...

Al Gore.

Think about it, the country liked him well enough for him to win the popular vote in 2000, and alll the "liberal" types around here are still talking about how he should be presidtent. I'm not sure if Gore would have accepted, but it sure would have made things interesting.

As for me, Bush Cheney '04 has my vote though.

Re: John Edwards VP Nominee

The Republican View:

As far as a true conservative's views on the new left-wing party ticket, I'd say you have a shot now. If there was one person who could seriously help Kerry's appearance (physically...face it...he looks like "The Screamer"...kind of scary) it was John Edwards. There are people who vote based on looks, and if the Kerry campaign is smart...they'll get Edwards' face out there ASAP. As said earlier...I also believe he helps to balance the ticket a little. It's gonna be an interesting campaign. I'm still voting Bush/Cheney (though I wish I were saying Bush/Guliani ) but the dem candidates don't scare me quite as much now. Props John...and John.


Now then...LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!
