18. Depends what you're looking for

John Kerry has a complete mastery of all the issues. I also believe he can be quite tough.

Edwards has a more pleasing demeanor, but is light on the issues.
I have noticed everytime he is asked about international subjects, he turns the answer back to jobs. On the campaign trail this doesn't matter, but in a debate, it could finish him off.

Therefore: I support Kerrey; he has debated for years, knows the issues better than Dubya, & will not make a major mistake because he's a pro.

Edwards is too much of a question mark to risk this election on.
