So, Edwards is the pick. That's good news for Kerry, because it means he has a strong chance to win now. The south will vote for Edwards, women will vote for Edwards, and younger voters will vote for Edwards.
The media is already all over him, saying that his "one negative point is that he has no foreign policy experience," and that Cheney might run circles around him in debates. Shit, his lack of foreign policy experience and Washington insider status is exactly why I like him!
Maybe THEY haven't gotten to him yet :)
By the way, can YOU tell photoshopped images from real ones? Apparently, the AP can't or doesn't care.
And, he's a cutie! Remember ladies, when you vote for president in November, VOTE CUTE!
Edwards on the issues... a few more reasons I like him:

Of course, he does have plenty of negatives:

# Supported Iraq invasion because of WMD threat... jesus
# Supports the death penalty
# Supports missile defense system
But, in the end, for a politician he ain't bad.
