Possible Kerry VP Choices Speak in Iowa

[GreenPartyVoter]

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Sen. John Edwards and Gov. Tom Vilsack advertised themselves as potential vice presidential candidates Saturday with sharply populist assaults on President Bush before hundreds of Democratic activists.

Delegates at the Iowa Democratic State Convention repeatedly came to their feet in cheers as the North Carolina senator and Iowa's own governor, both prominent in speculation about Sen. John Kerry's eventual running mate, lambasted Bush.

"George Bush has a health care plan - pray you don't get sick," Edwards said. "They have led us from the edge of greatness when Bill Clinton left office to the edge of a cliff."

Edwards said Bush has accomplished so little that he has been reduced to little more than attack commercials as the campaign unfolds. He said the presumed Democratic nominee Kerry has withstood the attack and is climbing in the polls.
