Could John Edwards be JFKs running mate?

[Aunt Anti-bush]

I found it odd that John Edwards dropped out just as he was beginning to gain an advantage over Kerry in some polls. Now, I get this e-mail:

Our Fight For Change
Dear Friend,
First and foremost, I want to thank every single one of my supporters again for all that you did for my campaign. Because of your support, we were able to wage a strong campaign about the important issues facing our country today. I was so inspired by the people I met on the campaign trail and during the course of the campaign, I learned time and time again that the American people are hungry for change.

I want to keep fighting for this change and to work to end the two Americas in our country today - one for those at the top who get everything they want, and the other for everybody else who struggles just to get by. To that end, I have launched the "One America Committee," which will allow me to campaign for Democratic candidates across the country. For the sake of my children and grandchildren, I want to do everything I can to elect John Kerry to the White House and to elect more Democrats at every level of the party. The "One America Committee" will play a major role in these efforts.

I have already campaigned for John Kerry and other Democrats in North Dakota, Washington, and Florida, and I will continue to crisscross the country to campaign for Democratic incumbents and candidates.

To learn more about the One America Committee, please visit our Web site. Thank you again for all that you have done and all of your support. I look forward to working with you more in the future so that together, we can help change America.


Sincerely,

John Edwards

1. let's hope so!

Edwards would be excellent on the campaign trail, and crucial in bringing in some of the swing states.

2. Not in this lifetime.

eom

[skooooo]

3. why do you say that?

4. JFK was assassinated on November 22, 1963

JFK = John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Those initials were retired.
Please use JK or better yet John Kerry. You confuse the issues when you use the wrong nomenclature.

5. Good point.

Sorry, I was rushing.

[RC]

6. No problem.

Oh, Welcome to DU. :toast:

7. Kerry/Edwards '04. And beyond.

It's a helluva ticket.

13. Yeah - Lyndon Johnson was JFK's running mate (n/t)

8. I hope not. I am one of those who does not, and never has,

supported or liked Edwards. With Kerry's weaknesses showing through more every day, our chances of winning this election would be greatly increased by having a "heavyweight" on the ticket with Kerry, rather than a "light-in-the-ass" Edwards. I see a slam-dunk win for us with someone like Clark.

9. Are you a Clark supporter or just a Republican giving Edwards a black eye

I suspect either would be republican or leaning republican.

11. It's Physically impossible

JFK was killed by a sniper on Nov. 22nd 1963.

12. Don't read too much into that letter

Sounds just like the letters that Dean and Clark sent to their supporters.
