JOHN EDWARDS - A CHARISMATIC CANDIDATE

With John Edwards as his vice-presidential candidate, John Kerry will have someone who complements him well. In contrast to Kerry, Edwards radiates youth; he's from the south and comes from a humble background.

John Edwards made himself known as an unusual candidate who radiated a powerful positive image. The 50-year old Edwards never said a bad word about his democratic opponents. He tried to be positive and looked forward to the new US that he was trying to shape.

The North Carolina senator's message is above all this: Today there are 2 USA's; one for the wealthy cronies of George Bush. The other is for the rest of the Americans, many of whom are out of a job, are hurting financially, and are without medical insurance. They are broke, even though they have a job.

His appearances are more like exciting one-man shows, rather than political meetings.

Edwards can win the race for Kerry in the battle against George Bush, since he is very popular in the southern states.

Sounds like the Swedes are giving him the thumbs-up. Now what was that thread in LBN about Bush calling Edwards a 'pessimist'?
