John-John '04 is happening right now.

[Renew Deal]

These two guys are helping and defending eachother. The wmona moderator is foaming at the mouth and the other moderators want to draw blood.

1. exactly

you can see that Edwards is holding back on his criticisms so that he doesn't hurt his VP chances. I can't blame him, I think he sees the writing on the wall.

[bluedog]

6. gotta keep Edwards in

the spotlight..I heard on a RW show that bush will attack Kerry but also has to focus on Edwards if Edwards stays in the race.....

bush will have to fight 2 fronts...and thats one thing he once told his father that was why he lost ol man bush had to fight Clinton and Perot.....(per Hatfield book)...they can't focus on 2 people at the same time..

[robsul82]

2. Hopefully ol' JFK...

...will can it with the favorable-to-Bush comparisons to Clinton. That's rather disgusting.

Later.

3. In the end, they are on the same team.

They are largely avoiding the Prisoner's dilemma being set up for them by Larry King and his ilk by acting in the whole interest instead of self interest.

[Kathleen04]

4. A distinct possibility

but I think there are 2 other factors at play here:

1. John Edwards is trying to keep up his positive campaign and not bloody Kerry as the prospective nominee because we do need to oust Bush, above all.

2. John Kerry is trying to blur the distinctions between himself and Edwards; he's trying to keep Edwards from breaking out and distinguishing himself, which is smart, because if there's no difference than people are going to gravitate in higher numbers toward the frontrunner.

8. Good observation

[KittyWampus]

5. Very Doubtful. Edwards Brings Little To The Table.

[kanrok]

7. Uh-oh....here we go again.

Better get used to the fact that Edwards is the Veep.

[GreenArrow]

9. no, he isn't

Clark.

[kanrok]

13. I can live with either

[atre]

16. I would love it if Kerry named anyone but Clark for the VP spot

Not because I dislike Clark (I am a former supporter), but rather because such a sizeable number of his fans here are such terrible human beings.

10. Not so fast, Bleachers7!

11. I don't like John Kerry

we have to get Bush out but Kerry is not my dream candidate. He is too centrist and lacks any desire to exact REAL change for America.

I am baffled how he got to be on top having come from waaaaaaaaaay behind in just a few weeks????????????????? Whats up with this?

Look at him now, he's saying 'yes, some of those jobs will go overseas'.......??????????????????? HOLY COW, he's just the kinder, gentler arm of the conservative G.=GREEDY O.=OLD P.=PARTY. He isn't against NAFTA or globalism nor does he speak to the issues of the underclass. Will he even DO anything about that freaking medicare coup? OMG, it looks like with kerry, we have to go on living from paycheck to paycheck and living in substandard housing.
If he gets into office, I am going to hold HIS feet to the fire the whole time. I shall also be looking for whom to vote in AFTER his term. What a huge disappointment Kerry is; albeit better than bush.

[AgadorSparticus]

17. i'm glad you said he's a centrist--that's a winning description

there is a REASON why rethugs are trying to pin him as a liberal---it doesn't translate to votes. so, NO, kerry is not going to say anything left of center--not if he wants to win. that's why we have al and dennis to give voice to these ideas.

we need to focus on the white house. and the road to the white house obviously goes through the economy, jobs, and healthcare. everything else is inconsequential until we swear in president kerry.

12. not on trade

[Skip Intro]

14. I'm seeing Edwards fading with each question

Sorry, that's just the way I see it so far. Granted, I have a big prob. with Edwards over his continuing support for invading Iraq, but he seems to be just drowning here to me. Nothing personal, I'm a Dean person, I know what being on the recieving end of candidate smearing is like - I'm not doing that, just making an observation.

[m-jean03]

15. They sure are acting chummy

and touchy feely.

[revcarol]

18. Chummy to EXCLUDE DK and AS.

Just one nice meeting of the GOBC: GOOD OLE BOYS CLUB
