Why do you think so?

Because Cheney is older?

Because Edwards is a young man and an intersting public speaker?

Have you ever seen Edwards debate?  Delivering a good stump speech is one thing, but a contested debate is a whole different animal.

So basically what exactly are you basing this conclusion on?

I've seen Edwards in a number of debates. I've seen Cheney in a couple. So that's what I'm basing it on.

This is Edward's territory believe me.

Lets see what Mr. Edwards Stand for....

http://www.issues2000.org/Senate/John_Edwards.htm

Voted NO on banning partial birth abortions

"This legislation, if enacted, would ban the abortion procedure in which the physician partially delivers the fetus before completing the abortion. "

Roll back the Bush tax cuts and address real priorities.

"We need to balance the need for fiscal responsibility against the need to invest in areas like education and help for working families. I have proposed a series of measures to restore fiscal discipline. We need to roll back the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest and restore a tax code that honors work, not wealth."

More on website....no time to post.

Muck, I agree with you that partial-birth abortions need to be banned, but in this election the most important issue is going to be where we are going as a nation in the war on terrorism, and how that war is going to be fought, wouldn't you agree?

Based on that, Bush is a menace to our country's pretige and reputation, and must be removed from power, at almost any cost.

the only cards Edwards can play against Cheney is physical appearance and that good old boy southern drawl.  Or if Cheney has a massive heart attack.  

Edwards is a good guy, hell.......I pefer Edwards over Kerry by a long margin but put Edwards up against Cheney and, unless Cheney has a really bad day, Edwards will be totally owned.

just my opinion......of course.

Our reputation and prestige  in Europe?

The war on terror is the most important issue and I'd rather not leave it in the hands of a Freshman Senator who's previous job was  a trial attorney and Jane Fonda's Biatch who voted to gut the intelligence community, and voted against every major weapon system we employ in said war on terror.

I could care less what the French think about us.

Are you saying then that going after the terroists where they live is a bad thing? Perhaps an emotional round of Kumbaya would convince the terroists that we are really the same as them and we'll all live happily ever after.

Ok.. And the point of all this was?

So again, why do you follow US politics so closely?

That's just it, Iron. Maybe had we picked a country where the terrorists live, my feelings would be different. I don't think anyone disagreed with going into Afghanistan. But the link between Saddam and Al-Quaeda has not proven to have been true.
