Warner was at least a popular, successful Governor of a red state. So he has executive experience, was good at it, and would probably be able to carry Virginia in a general election. He was also a successful businessman, which highlights the executive experience in a very positive way.

Edwards is not all that popular in his home state and odds are he could not carry North Carolina in a general election. He also does not have executive experience, which is usually considered a plus for a President.

By the way, from what I gather, the Shrub's role as Governor of Texas was kind of like a figurehead with little real responsibility, unlike being a Governor in Va. and NC. "W" was also a failed businessman, (he was cut out to be a middle manager of a lawn mower parts company, IMHO)
