No kidding.

I've gone to a few AW and WB Con's and nothing I saw from people there prepared me for what I saw in this BBS.

Just my observation though!


Y'know, I remember that I was talking with a friend when Kerry announced Edwards as his running mate. My friend and I both said at almost the same instant: "Well, this election's over."

Edwards didn't deliver any Southern states. Edwards brought no value to the ticket whatsoever and allowed Cheney to stay in the shadows pretty much unscathed (i.e. if anyone had paid attention to Edwards they would have had to look at Cheney's activities to compare).

I'd be real interested to know how and why Kerry really picked Edwards.

Al Sharpton would have been more interesting and given what happened in 2000 he'd have gotten every minority voter. That would have been a stone Berserker ticket - either a blazing win or a huge crater.

What I'm wondering is if Kerry picked Edwards, if Kerry was left with Edwards when everyone else said "no," or if the party picked Edwards.

Did you guys see Sharpton on the Daily show last night.  He was a riot!  A must see.

The only thing I noticed from weld was when the tip of his tounge fell off from biting it so hard.

It was a good volly between the two of them.  Weld did well not to feed Sharpton and had to mostly just sit there.

It was a very funny exchange.
