but Edwards's law experience has probably left him pretty used to going up against guys like Cheney. I'll just say I'm confident, not overconfident.
But anybody who think Cheney is just going to lay down and die is crazy. Cheney is definitely not Bush, there won't be any stammering or "mexed missages," and I'm confident the Kerry campaign is planning for that. Edwards best offense is to put Cheney on the defensive as soon as possible, which should be easy to do for Edwards. It's a matter of saying, "look, your administration has a lot to answer for, such as...." Cheney will be tough, but Edwards will do fine.
